Three members of the Catalan Police and a member of the Guardia Civil Drug Unit in Málaga are among those arrested
Three members of the Mossos d’Esquadra, regional Catalan police, have been arrested for drug trafficking. Another 13 people have also been detained accused of drug trafficking and illicit association.
Reporting restrictions have been placed on the case, but it is known that the arrests of the Mossos was made by their own companions in the force, and that three kilos of cocaine were recovered along with quantities of hashish and marihuana. 500,000 € cash was also found, along with jewellery and seven firearms.
The police have been provisionally suspended.
The Guardia Civil in Alicante has arrested six people, four men and two women, after discovering a marihuana plantation described as the largest seen in Spain, with more than 9,000 plants. Two of the men arrested are Dutch, while the rest are Spanish.
The plantation was in a farming warehouse in Gorga, Alicante, and the Guardia Civil started their investigations in August after noting strange ‘comings and goings’.
Investigations involving phone taps revealed the extent of the operation and how the Marihuana produced was either sold in Benidorm and surrounding areas or exported to The Netherlands. The operation, code-named ‘Errante’, also saw the search of two industrial warehouses in Benilloba.
Meanwhile in another case in Málaga, a member of the Málaga Civil Guard from the anti-drug unit, has also been arrested as part of an operation which remains open. Malaga Hoy reports the arrest took place last Monday on the Guadalmar beach in the city, when the agent was found with his own vans and a quantity of drugs.
In San Roque, Cádiz, the coastguard has found 1,710 kilos of hashish brought ashore on the La Alcaidesa Beach on an inflatable boat. The two men on the boat managed to make their escape however.

They grew it somewhere its illegal and exported it to a place where its decriminalised 
Probably BS made up by the reporters / paper dunno. Nothing reported on drugs ever makes sense any more.

The others - the living - are those who pushed their control as far as they felt they could handle it, and then pulled back, or slowed down, or did whatever they had to when it came time to choose between Now and Later"

Over 9000
-------------------- December 1960: "They took the drug one evening at Leary's house and had a profound experience, during which Ginsburg prophetically realized that it was a time to start "a peace and love movement". He then ran naked around the house, attempted to get Kruschev and Kennedy on the telephone and announced to the operator that he was God."
