Placed in custody in the aftermath of their arrest, the suspects were presented to an examining magistrate Thursday who put them under investigation for "detention, offer or transfer, acquisition and importation of narcotics," added the source. All were placed in pre-trial detention.

These searches took place as several members of the group returned from Spain where they had gone to get supplies. This work is the result of a one-and-a-half-year investigation that has been ongoing as part of a judicial inquiry since May 2018.
