Spanish police dismantled an extensive criminal network operating in the Mediterranean, according to 15min.lt. According to investigators, the organisation used vessels to transport synthetic drugs—such as ecstasy—from Spain to Algeria. On return journeys, the same ships illegally transported migrants to the Spanish coast and the island of Ibiza. The authorities link the gang to at least sixty-four human-trafficking operations, through which more than two thousand people entered the country. It is estimated that the criminals generated profits worth more than twenty-four million euros.
