Anti-drugs prosecutor warns of drug trafficking expansion in Andalusia
Prosecutor Ana Villagómez warns that organised crime groups are increasing their operational capacity from Morocco and South America, with grenades and military weapons seized in Andalusia.
Warning about the increase in criminal power
According to elmundo.es, delegate anti-drugs prosecutor Ana Villagómez has warned of the expansion of drug trafficking in Andalusia, Ceuta and Melilla. With 35 years of experience in Cádiz and 25 years dedicated specifically to drug offences, Villagómez is one of the most authoritative voices on the matter.
The prosecutor argues that criminal organisations have increasingly greater financial resources, operational means and arsenal. Recent seizures include grenades and Kalashnikov rifles, an indicator of the level of militarisation reached by trafficking networks. Villagómez points out that the mafias are expanding from supply sources in Morocco and South America.
Villagómez warns that "reinforcements are needed" in the Security Forces and the judicial system to contain the threat. Her assessment suggests that, despite her extensive career, the evolution of the criminal phenomenon continues to generate unprecedented challenges.
