Spain Busts Venezuelan Gang's Drug Labs

Spanish authorities make a major breakthrough in combating organized crime, arresting thirteen suspected members of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang. This marks the first time a cell of this notorious prison gang has been dismantled in Spain, following a year-long investigation. The arrests took place across five cities, highlighting the gangs widespread reach. The Tren de Aragua, designated as a foreign terrorist organization by the US, originated from a lawless Venezuelan prison and has expanded across Latin America, the US, and now Spain, coinciding with Venezuelan migration. During the operation, police discovered and dismantled drug labs, seized synthetic drugs, and cocaine, further disrupting the gangs activities. This follows the arrest of the brother of the gangs leader last year, emphasizing the global threat posed by this expanding criminal organization.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story.
