Europol said on Wednesday that a large Balkan criminal drug trafficking network had been dismantled in a large-scale international operation, disrupting a smuggling route from Central America to Europe.
“On 10 March, law enforcement officers from Croatia, Montenegro and Serbia arrested eight members of the criminal group, one of which is believe to be its leader. The operational activities were also supported on the ground by two investigators from France and Portugal,” a press release said, adding that the international investigation was led by Montenegro and supported by Europol along with law enforcement authorities from Austria, Croatia, France, Portugal, Serbia and Slovenia.
It recalled that the operation was launched in 2017 by Montenegro with a catamaran loaded with 840 kilograms of cocaine was seized in 2018 on its way from the Caribbean to Europe.
This operation was a part of a broader European strategy against the Balkan Cartel and its top targets, which involves EU law enforcement authorities, Western Balkan countries and Europol, the press release said.
