Officer Antonio Martínez celebrated the 바카라eradication of this group," which police believed was trying to establish a presense in Spain.
According to Martínez, the group used houses in isolated areas in the Valencia region to store the smuggled shipments of methamphetamines before using vehicles with false bottoms to send them on to other European countries.
바카라We in the National Police thought that the Mexican cartels were not established in Spain,바카라 Martínez said. 바카라But it is true that due to the pressure they are under in other parts of Europe, above all against their laboratories, we are seeing how they are trying to start operations or set up illegal laboratories in Spain to produce drugs.바카라
An investigation is continuing and police said there could be further arrests.
