TWENTY-TWO members of an alleged drug trafficking and money laundering gang operating in the south of Spain have been arrested by police.

Thirteen of those arrested have been detained in custody.

More than €100,000 in cash, 19 vehicles and an assortment of firearms were seized by National Police officers.

Police say the investigations began in August 2017 and claim the ‘perfectly structured’ gang operated between Marbella and Cordoba in Andalucia.

Officers said most of those investigated had extensive criminal records and their degree of specialisation hindered the investigations.
