  "account": "Three individuals were arrested in Seville province, Spain, over allegations of war weapons trafficking, according to police reports. During a police operation, authorities seized a functioning AK-47 assault rifle and an M80 anti-tank rocket launcher, which were allegedly intended for criminal organizations linked to drug trafficking. The investigation, initiated in June, revealed a network of intermediaries that connected weapons suppliers with potential buyers. One of the main suspects facilitated the organization of contacts. The suspects, arrested during a surveillance operation, were found attempting to flee when confronted by police. The bag they discarded contained the two weapons mentioned. A third arrest occurred in connection with the weapons trade. The operation involved searches of four residences in Dos Hermanas and one in Seville, and the three detainees were subsequently brought before the Investigating Court of Dos Hermanas.",
