More than 200 officers from Spain’s National Police and the Tax Agency’s Customs Surveillance Service are involved. The operation, named Tsunami-Galba, targets a drug-trafficking organisation concentrated in La Soledad.

The National Police deploy around 50 officers from a specialist unit in Valencia, alongside investigators, technical specialists, air support and dog handlers. Customs teams from Madrid and Barcelona also take part. Palma’s Local Police help manage traffic, while the city council’s urban planning department carries out technical inspections of the properties under investigation.
