 All 15 are Nigerians who have been arrested since the start of the investigation last September.

The first arrests were of people acting as drugs mules carrying ‘acorns’ (small packages of drugs) inside their bodies, intercepted at Palma de Mallorca and Almería airports. In the first arrest in Palma the ‘mule’ was carrying 1,350 grams of cocaine in 77 ‘acorns’.

Investigations then revealed other people responsible based in Alcalá de Henares, Azuqueca de Henares, Valencia and Palma de Mallorca. Other arrests have been made in Roquetas de Mar.
