Hermes Govantes curtains -with the logo of the giant luxury brand-, designer pools, some with waterfalls, cutting-edge technology and artificial grass. Such are the houses of the narcourbanización located in La Línea de la Concepción (Cádiz) where the Civil Guard has just struck its penultimate blow to the organizations that control the distribution and sale of drugs in Campo de Gibraltar. The Dolmen operation , which has been so named, has been a very serious setback for these gangs, since the objective has been their financing and the mechanisms by which they laundered the money from drug trafficking.
About forty people have been detained, many of them figureheads of the great drug lords of the south, of clans such as the Castaña or the Pantoja. In addition, 28 searches have been carried out in homes, of which 19 correspond to the 19 homes that make up the narcourbanización of El Zabal, a labyrinth of streets on the outskirts of La Línea de la Concepción with enormous security measures, security cameras, 360-degree surveillance and, at the entrance, a double door that made the complex almost impregnable.
In addition to the arrests, the Civil Guard has seized 300,000 euros in cash, an important amount but that was little more than small change for these drug traffickers, accustomed to spending on time, as the houses they had built in recent years betray and in which they came to constitute a very particular kind of neighborhood community with common interests.
Artificial grass
One of his main interests was, precisely, security and that explains why all the houses, absolutely all, had artificial grass. Unwilling to care for the garden themselves, the owners of these homes were unwilling to allow anyone access to their luxury fort, and that includes outside gardeners.
The drug trafficking of El Zabal is relatively new and its origin dates back to the year 2017, when the owner of the land where the luxury villas are located, known as Miguel el Chulo, decides, at his own risk and bypassing all the regulations. urban planning, parceling an agricultural farm of his property and dividing it into almost twenty plots in which many other prominent drug traffickers, all from the area of Los Castaña, built their residences competing in ostentation and, in more than a few cases, in bad taste.
Among the illustrious neighbors of the narcourbanización are one of the children of the Castaña, Kiko el Fuerte -which just a few weeks ago was arrested-, the family of the Mauro, that of the Eggplant or Jesús Pantoja, the leader of the clan of the same name that it was also dismantled very recently and that it had replaced the Castaña in the control of drug trafficking in La Línea de la Concepción.
Most of them are imprisoned or escaped and, therefore, the agents of the armed institute found relatives and many figureheads in their chalets, who have fallen into an operation whose true scope is still unknown, given that the court that directs the The investigation has declared the secret of the investigation and no further details have emerged.
What he does know, and has been able to confirm THE WORLD in sources close to the investigation, is that the system by which these drug traffickers laundered their benefits were not too sophisticated, but rather the opposite. Even gross , pointed out the sources consulted.
Lots of brick, jewelry, high-end vehicles, boats and motorcycles, and a train of life impossible to sustain without the income from drug trafficking. That's where the hash money was going to stop.
To carry out the operation, the Civil Guard deployed 450 agents and practically closed the urbanization from six in the morning on Monday, the time when searches and arrests began.
It was not the first blow by the security forces in this complex of illegal luxury villas, but it was the most complete . So much so, that some of the arrested officers surprised them sleeping, used to police operations but more limited, thinking that this time it was their neighbors' turn.
