February 3, 2026. Customs Surveillance officials from the Tax Agency in Murcia and agents of the National Police have carried out a joint investigation that has led to the dismantling of a criminal organization dedicated to drug trafficking, which was acquiring large quantities of cocaine in Andalusia to later supply it to different retail points in the Region of Murcia.

The investigation, which began in 2025, allowed the agents to confirm the existence of a criminal organization in the Region of Murcia, based in the village of Espinardo (Murcia), and which operated directly from that location with a highly hierarchical structure and a clear division of roles among the different members of the family clan.

During the extensive and complex investigation, the specialized Customs Surveillance units of the Tax Agency in Murcia and the National Police, verified that the organization acquired large quantities of cocaine in other parts of the national territory, such as Andalusia, carrying out the transfer of the narcotic substances in high-end vehicles and adopting important security measures to detect the possible presence of the investigators or their follow-up by other criminal organizations dedicated to drug rip-offs.

Nine searches of homes in Murcia and Molina de Segura

In the operation to dismantle the criminal organization, carried out on January 21, nine searches were conducted at homes in Murcia and Molina de Segura, seizing different quantities of marijuana, cocaine, hashish, cash, seven vehicles used by the criminal organization, two handguns and numerous rounds of ammunition, as well as an 'airsoft' rifle, commonly used to carry out drug rip-offs between different family clans.

In addition, precautionary measures have been agreed upon regarding the organization's assets, specifically the blocking of balances in 13 financial products, shares in 18 commercial companies and 17 vehicles.

The criminal organization also made significant financial investments with the profits from its illicit activities in the installation of large marijuana plantations to supply a constant and permanent supply of buds to the market, dismantling several plantations with almost 2,000 plants in different stages of growth.

Customs Surveillance officials from the Tax Agency in Murcia and agents of the National Police arrested 14 people in Murcia, Molina de Segura and Córdoba for these acts, who are charged with the commission of the crimes of drug trafficking, electricity fraud and belonging to a criminal organization, many of them with numerous police records for the commission of similar crimes.
