Captură istorică de cocaină în Spania mascată într-un transport de banane. Ancheta vizează o rețea financiară internațională de spălare a banilor cu legături la Wall Stree

Spain's largest cocaine seizure has unveiled an alleged international money laundering network linked to drug trafficking and financial investments. In fall 2024, authorities found 13 tons of cocaine hidden in a banana shipment at the Algeciras port, marking a historic drug bust. The investigation revealed connections to the U.S., Panama, and other countries, with Ignacio Torán identified as the alleged leader. Notably, former police official Óscar Sánchez is implicated for allegedly protecting the network. The case also involves individuals like Francisco de Borbón and Ketan Seth, who managed a company allegedly used for laundering drug money. The investigation suggests the organization utilized cash and cryptocurrencies for international transfers, controlling luxury properties in Dubai. Experts highlight how modern criminal organizations exploit legal economic structures.
