Jalisco Cartel European Network Dismantled
Spanish police, with support from the DEA and Dutch authorities, conducted a covert operation to shut down a European "office" of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). During the raid, officers seized cocaine, methamphetamine, and other narcotics, disrupting the cartel’s foothold in Europe.
Bust Tactics and Operation Details
The operation was noted for its discreet nature, allowing law enforcement to gather critical intelligence and make arrests without alerting other cartel members. Authorities emphasized the complexity of CJNG’s network, describing it as a sophisticated franchise model operating beyond Latin America.
"The dismantling of this European branch represents a significant blow to CJNG's expansion into new markets," said a Spanish police spokesperson.
Cartel Expansion and Threats
CJNG is recognized as one of the most dangerous and expansive drug trafficking organizations in Mexico, having extended its operations internationally through franchises in Europe and elsewhere. The cartel’s innovative approach involves establishing offices abroad to coordinate distribution and logistics more effectively.
Cooperation Among Agencies
The success of this operation highlights effective international cooperation, particularly between Spain, the Netherlands, and U.S. agencies like the DEA. Such collaboration is crucial in countering transnational criminal organizations that exploit global networks.
Jalisco Cartel's European operation was efficiently dismantled through multinational law enforcement cooperation, underscoring the cartel’s global ambitions and the coordinated response needed to combat them.
