Authorities seized 9 firearms, 500 rounds of ammunition, 1 kg of cocaine, and 15,000 euros in cash during operations on Fuerteventura, La Gomera, and Gran Canaria. The criminals used "ghost guns" which are illegally produced pistols without serial numbers.
The investigation began in October 2025 after the seizure of weapons smuggling at Vigo airport. The group had international links including Europol, Portugal, France, and Italy.
