Arrests take down violent criminal network trafficking cocaine into Scotland

A joint action day coordinated from Eurojust’s headquarters has led to the arrest of 13 suspects from a Scottish organised crime group. The group is suspected of running a prolific criminal network involved in the transport of large quantities of drugs, including hundreds of kilograms of cocaine, into Scotland. Thanks to close cooperation by UK and Spanish authorities, coordinated by Eurojust, five suspects were arrested in Spain and a further eight in the United Kingdom.
