The cocaine shipment that led to the downfall of the narcotic police officer was organized in Dubai
The group leader, still not arrested, made friends in the United Arab Emirates with other narcos involved in this shipment, such as El Tigre and Spartan.
A 13-tonne shipment of cocaine hidden among bananas from Ecuador was foiled, with a value of nearly 395 million euros. The operation, involving multiple parties, was reportedly led by a narcotics trafficker known as Thanos, based in Dubai. The cargo was not collected at the Port of Algeciras in Cadiz, Spain, due to a police tip-off. The investigation was a collaboration between Ecuadorian police and Spain's National Police, specifically the Central Brigade for Narcotics. Thanos has not been arrested.
