Croat arrested in Spain: 1.5 tons of cocaine seized in a major operation
A Croatian citizen was arrested in Spain during a large operation where approximately 1.5 tons of cocaine were seized near the northern Galician coast. The drugs were found hidden on a property close to the sea, and among those detained was a Croatian national identified as part of a criminal clan linked to drug trafficking. Investigators suspect collaboration between local criminal groups and individuals from former Yugoslavia, including Croatia, Serbia, and Montenegro. The suspect, described as a 'notaria' acting on behalf of a criminal organization, was responsible for overseeing the operation and ensuring agreements were met. Authorities are still investigating how the cocaine arrived at the coast, with some believing it may have been delivered just before the police raid.

Before Livakovic's arrival, Captain Flick was relieved of his duties:
Frenkie de Jong (29) is no longer the captain of Barcelona. Hansi Flick has abandoned the tradition of having the longest-serving player wear the armband, and next season will mark the eighth year of De Jong’s tenure at Camp Nou. The new captain will be Raphinha, while Eric Garcia and Pedri have been named vice-captains. This decision was not entirely unexpected, considering De Jong’s expected return to the field later in the year due to a knee injury that might keep him out for part of the season. However, his absence from the World Cup despite the injury reportedly contributed to his drop in hierarchy. According to Cadena SER, Flick was extremely frustrated by De Jong’s decision to play in the World Cup despite his injury. Journalist Santi Ovalle explained this as a warning from Flick, not because De Jong avoided surgery but due to how the situation was handled. Nevertheless, Ovalle emphasized that Flick still values De Jong highly and will continue to rely on him once he recovers. De Jong recently spoke positively about his relationship with Flick, stating they communicate frequently and clarifying that reports of a poor relationship are false.
