135 kilos of cocaine and 490,000 € in cash was recovered with dozens of mobile phones.
The police say that the group was acting between Madrid and Valencia on an international scale, and the group introduced, transported, stored and distributed the drugs across borders. A simultaneous search has been held in 14 homes in Madrid and Valencia.
The break for the police came in Parla, Madrid last December when a warehouse carrying 500 kilos of cocaine was found and where three initial arrests were made and several vehicles were impounded.
Secret compartments were found in some of the cars, and in some cases were only reached by dismantling the seats and other elements of the vehicle.
