A story like in the movies was that of seven Albanians and a Spanish citizen caught this week with 1.1 tons of cocaine on a vessel.

Spanish media report that at the time of their arrest, the crew had spent 19 days at sea, in poor conditions.

It is learned that in order to withstand the sea and preserve their cargo, the traffickers were only allowed to sleep for one hour a day. While at the time of their arrest, they were also offered the medical assistance they needed.

"La Voz de Galicia" reports that the boat the Albanians were sailing on was 12 meters long, without a cabin, and the space designated for the crew was constantly filling with water.

Supplies, bottles of drinking water and fuel were found inside.

The arrest of the Albanians took place in the Rego do Alcalde area, in the same area where another dinghy with similar characteristics appeared on Christmas Eve.

As part of this so-called "Operation Barona", agents also seized a pistol, vehicles and communication equipment,

Since November of last year, this Albanian organization based in the Salnés region has been under surveillance.

In mid-December, it was determined that this speedboat was heading out to sea with four people on board, and in the early hours of Wednesday, a group of National Police caught them as they were unloading the goods, also arresting those who were preparing to load and transport them.
