In Torrevieja, police seize almost 100,000 ecstasy tablets

National Police ecstasy pills Torrevieja

One of the biggest ecstasy caches ever found in the nation was broken up in Torrevieja by the National Police’s Drug and Organised Crime Unit (Udyco): up to 104,000 pills. The operation, which is still under wraps, is the result of these investigators’ observation of a Slovak resident of Cartagena who they suspect of being a “courier” for a drug trafficking organisation.

Five suspected gang members have been arrested thus far as a result of the raid: four Algerians and one Slovakian, many of whom live in the Murcia region, notably in Cartagena and Molina de Segura. Sources claim that the seizure occurred in a Torrevieja building’s garage on February 25th, but it was not made public until yesterday, Thursday 13th March, since the investigation was still underway.

It appears that a number of gang members had assembled at the site to conduct a narcotics trafficking operation, and they made an attempt to escape on foot when they saw the police presence. They didn’t think twice about smashing a number of officers with their cars in order to do this.

Investigators discovered the cache, which included about 104,000 ecstasy tablets, in the trunk of one of the cars. This seizure complements an earlier National Police operation and may result in a larger quantity of this narcotic being seized.

The arrest of further suspects and the resolution of other offences cannot be ruled out because the investigation is still ongoing.

Alleged murderer of his stepdaughter tells her mother: “Go up to the house, the girl is sleeping”

Guardia Civil

Jesús JG, also known as Suso, is suspected of killing Nadia, his ex-partner’s adopted 5-year-old daughter, in a Murcia home. He also called his ex-girlfriend and his own mother.

It was the mother of the suspect who found the dead body. Later, she said that her son had contacted her while she was out at a pub with two friends, asking her to come over to the apartment since the girl was “sleeping” and he needed to go so she wouldn’t be left alone. When his mum got home after listening to her son, she discovered the girl in the bedroom “foaming at the mouth,” albeit still alive. Then she dialled 911.

When paramedics arrived on the scene in a 061 ambulance, they made numerous unsuccessful attempts to resuscitate the girl. The young girl passed away in one of the house’s bedrooms. Her remains were left there until shortly after 9:30 p.m., at which point permission was granted to take them out and deliver them to the Murcia Institute of Forensic Medicine.

Suso posted pictures of himself putting the girl on his shoulders while they play or eat together on social media, giving the impression that they are father and daughter. Hours after the crime, the person was taken into custody in Torrevieja.

Drug-related issues


Police were also informed by the suspect’s mother that her son had struggled with drug addiction for many years.

Along with a dozen close friends, Suso’s ex-partner Ramona participated in the minute of silence outside Murcia City Hall in remembrance of Nadia, whom she had reared and had custody of. Isabel, Ramona’s cousin and the biological mother of tiny Nadia, was also outside the hall’s doors.

16 arrested in Spain for paying for access to a website that featured child pornography

National Police Car

16 people have been arrested by Spain’s National Police for using cryptocurrency to buy access to a child pornography website on the dark web.

38 nations have participated in this global investigation, which is being directed by Germany and coordinated by Europol. As a result, 1,393 people have been identified, and 79 people have been arrested. Some of the individuals who were arrested also mistreated children. According to a statement from the National Police, the investigation is still ongoing.

Alicante, Almeria, Barcelona, Jaen, Las Palmas, La Rioja, Madrid, Malaga, Murcia, Orense, Seville, Tarragona, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Valencia, and Zaragoza are among the Spanish cities where arrests have been made.

By hiding users’ identities and functioning as a social network, the dark web—particularly the platform under investigation within the TOR network—made it possible to buy and share illegal content.

With 91,000 videos and almost two million members, it was expanding at a rate of three videos every hour. While full films had to be paid for with cryptocurrency, initial access was free. Additionally, there were rewards for rating already-existing content or creating original stuff.

Despite the anonymity of cryptocurrency, German authorities were able to identify the buyers by cracking into the server and tracking down the payments. One person in Spain uploaded a video, and 17 others had bought content.

The National Police claim that people who purchase the content have a higher level of criminal dedication and sophisticated search techniques for illicit materials.

One of those detained in Spain was a student of computer technology who served as a distributor and had access to other platforms of a similar nature.

A detained individual in Alicante was also discovered to be a drug trafficker in possession of 700 ecstasy pills and €42,000 in cash. Several people who were arrested in Barcelona and Madrid had evidence of payment and child pornography. A suspect in Malaga confessed to the crime. A dentist in Murcia used a USB flash drive to save files.

Devices holding illegal material and proof of purchase were discovered in Almería, Orense, Seville, Tarragona, Tenerife, and Zaragoza, leading to additional arrests. One suspect had left Valencia for Paris. Another suspect in Jaén was looked into but not taken into custody. 39 minors were granted protection, and almost 3,000 electronic devices were seized globally.

Europol’s largest anti-child sexual exploitation operation was called Operation Stream. Spain, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and the United States were among the thirty-eight participating nations. One of the world’s biggest networks for disseminating paedophile content was severely damaged by this operation.
