Watch: Europol crack down on gangs smuggling drugs, weapons and money laundering

An east European crime gang involved in trafficking drugs, guns, money laundering and corruption has been broken up by Europol.

The investigation, started two years ago, focused on the activities of a criminal network involved in the production and trafficking of drugs in the Western Balkans, the EU and South America.

The “main players” were found by cracking encrypted messages between gang bosses.

The information exchange between different national authorities uncovered a large-scale organisation, spread across two continents.

Some eight members hold positions in the national administration of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

These arrests bring the number of individuals arrested for their links to this organised crime group up to a total of 38.

Seizures include over 300kg cannabis and real estate and cash with a total value of over €6 million.
