Alleged drugs trafficking network leader arrested in Navarra
The Guardia Civil has arrested the man considered to be the head of a criminal organisation involved in drug trafficking with its base in Estella del Marqués, a municipality located in the Community of Navarra. The arrest took place when officers intercepted him at the wheel following reckless driving.
The arrested man is a Spanish national and allegedly led a drugs trafficking network based in the Navarrese locality. His arrest resulted in his being brought before a judge, whilst investigations continue to determine the extent of the criminal structure and to identify possible collaborators.
The operation falls within the surveillance and control measures deployed by the security forces in the area to combat drug trafficking in both the rural and urban areas of Navarra. Investigations suggest that the network had a stable presence in Estella del Marqués and used the locality as a centre of operations for the distribution of substances.
The authorities have not yet disclosed the type or quantity of drugs linked to the organisation, nor whether searches of properties or additional arrests of other alleged members of the gang have been carried out.
