October 9, 2026. The Tax Agency, Civil Guard and National Police, within the framework of Operation 'Sustraia'/'Coyotes', have arrested nine members of a criminal organization from Gipuzkoa dedicated to drug trafficking in Perenollet (Valencia).

Among those arrested, residents of San Sebastián (Gipuzkoa), are six men, two women and a minor. Several of them had more than 20 years of experience in carrying out this illicit activity.

According to the investigations carried out, the members did not hesitate to use violence to demand payment for drug shipments. They had different roles assigned, some dedicated to the acquisition and supply of precursor substances, others to the manufacture of the drug and, finally, others to its distribution and sale.

In the operational phase of the operation, seven homes and four garages located in the San Sebastian neighborhoods of Amara, Loyola and Ayete, as well as in the towns of Orio and Irún, have been registered.

In addition to computer equipment and documentation, various devices and products used for the production, cutting and adulteration of drugs were seized, including ten kilos of cocaine, 23 kilos of amphetamines or 'speed' and smaller quantities of other narcotics (250 grams of hashish, 47.5 grams of marijuana, 15 grams of ketamine and six ecstasy pills), along with crypto assets and just over 21,000 euros in cash. A passenger vehicle has also been seized, as well as two airsoft pistols.

Investigators estimate that the organization may have put narcotics worth more than four million euros annually into circulation.

All police action has been supervised by the Civil and Instruction Section of the Court of First Instance of Irún, Plaza nº 3, with support from the Duty Court of San Sebastián and the Prosecutor's Office for Minors. Five of the detainees have been remanded in custody and two others have been released on bail, while an eighth has been released and the minor is required to appear before the specialized Prosecutor's Office.
