Two helicopters containing nearly 800 kg of hashish were seized in Spain. Nine people were arrested, including two pilots who are experts in night and low-altitude flights.

One of the traffickers, considered “ one of the most important leaders ” of the network, was killed in a car accident while trying to flee at high speed. The rear seats of the two planes had been removed to provide space to transport the hashish. Due to its geographical proximity to Morocco, Spain is the main gateway for hashish into Europe.
