La Guardia Civil, within the «Sabil» operation developed in the province of Cádiz, arrested four individuals and seized over 2.5 million euros from a criminal organization dedicated to laundering money from drug trafficking.
The operation commenced following the fraudulent acquisition of a farm valued at over 1,300,000 euros using intermediaries and frontmen. The former owners of the property were a couple with a history of drug trafficking and money laundering. The farm had access through the navigable area of the San Pedro River to the Bay of Cádiz.
Authorities discovered that the farm was listed at one million euros, with the transaction amounting to 1,300,000 euros, paying the remaining 300,000 euros in cash. Real estate properties were immobilized for a value of 2.5 million euros, including a farm divided into 54 plots for agricultural use in actual or real estate assets in the Puerto in the provinces of Cádiz and Seville.
In addition, three vehicles were seized, two of them and the contents of a safe deposit box with 790,000 euros and 35,900 US dollars. This operation is a continuation of the «talotifa» operation carried out in November 2021. In this operation, authorities found that the organization, led by the individual known as «Doro,» was whitewashing illegally obtained capital through drug trafficking-related activities.
In that operation, eleven individuals were arrested, including the organization’s leader, and Barrameda and Chipiona conducted five home searches in Sanlúcar, where 11 real estate properties were seized. The detainees were now at the disposal of the head of the Investigating Court No. 3 of Sanlúcar (Cádiz), as alleged perpetrators of money laundering and belonging to a criminal organization.
