The Dutch police have arrested three members of the same family, a father and his two sons, as part of an international operation against drug trafficking carried out in several European countries. As reported by the Dutch press and confirmed by the Guardia Civil, the father was arrested on Tuesday in a house in the Talamanca area of Ibiza.
On the same day, the Dutch authorities carried out ten searches in different locations in the Netherlands, where the two sons were arrested, one in The Hague and the other in Haarlem, according to IB3.
Tied to shipments of nearly 600 kilos of cocaine
The investigation places the father and his sons as active participants in large-scale cocaine trafficking, with connections extending throughout the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Spain. So far, they have been linked to six intercepted drug shipments totaling nearly 600 kilos of cocaine.
During searches in the Netherlands, agents found EUR 150,000 in cash, allegedly linked to the criminal activity.
Interventions in Ibiza: computer equipment and a vehicle
In Ibiza, in addition to the arrest of the father, investigators seized computer equipment, documentation and a vehicle, elements that could provide relevant information about the network and its operations.
The three detainees remain in judicial custody
The three suspects are still being held in custody, awaiting questioning by the investigating judge in the case. The operation, coordinated between several European police forces, remains open and further arrests or seizures are not ruled out in the coming days.
