United StatesSpanish and Dutch authorities conducted a major drug seizure operation, detaining 15 suspects and confiscating nearly 947 kilograms of MDMA—commonly known as ecstasy—in what officials described as the largest such bust in European history. The drugs were discovered hidden within industrial machinery intended for export to Ghana, with plans to route the shipment through West Africa before delivering it to South America in exchange for cocaine. The operation, which began in early 2025, targeted a sophisticated international drug trafficking and money laundering network based in southern Spain. This coordinated effort involved raids across 11 locations in Spain and one in the Netherlands.
