Spanish law enforcement officials have successfully apprehended a 64-year-old long-haul truck driver who was wanted by German authorities for his alleged involvement in a significant drug trafficking operation. The arrest took place on Tuesday at a logistics center in Santa Perpetua de la Mogoda, near Barcelona, according to a statement released by the Catalan regional police. The suspect is accused of exploiting his profession to transport more than 250 kilograms of marijuana and hashish, with an estimated street value exceeding 500,000 euros ($540,000), from Spain to Germany. The arrest was executed under a European Arrest Warrant, and the individual is currently in custody awaiting extradition to Germany. Spain, due to its geographical proximity to Morocco—a major producer of cannabis—serves as a critical gateway for these illicit substances into Europe. This case underscores the ongoing challenges faced by European authorities in combating cross-border drug trafficking networks.
