Massive arrests of British and Irish gangsters on the Costa del Sol LISTAndalucia: "Police forces travelled from Madrid this morning to assist the Special Drugs and Organized Crime Unit of the Costa del Sol (UDYCO) to make high-profile arrests of an Irish crime syndicate alledgedly operating from Malaga, London and Dublin.
A total of 32 detentions have been reported so far, the vast majority in the coastal towns of Marbella, Estepona and Fuengirola.
The criminal gang is thought to have been responsible for large-scale drug and weapon trafficking between Spain and Ireland. Most of the detainees are British and Irish, although four Spanish lawyers have also been apprehended in the case.
A 53-year-old British citizen who is believed to be the leader of the group is reported to have been detained in Spain together with many family members.
Spanish interior minister, Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba, confirmed from Warsaw that dozens of arrests were under way in a huge operation against organized crime in Europe."
