Impunity for drug traffickers: stealing 16,000 liters of gasoline seized two days before by the Civil Guard. In Spain, the transport of gasoline cans is not classified as a crime, despite the fact that evidence points to its crucial role in drug trafficking on the coasts of Campo de Gibraltar.
Security forces in the Strait area have warned about the impunity with which drug traffickers act, whose resources far exceed those available to the authorities. The restructuring of OCON-Sur, an elite unit established in 2018 specifically to fight drug trafficking in southern Spain, has been interpreted as a "dismantling" by the Ministry of Interior.
