The Guardia Civil has arrested a drug trafficker in La Algaba (Seville), who had been on the run since July.
The arrest took place during the celebration of a communion in a restaurant in which he participated as a guest. The detainee ran through some orange groves after detecting the presence of the Guardia Civil in the restaurant. With the help of the drone, the officers were able to find him and arrest him.
Operation ITÁLICA 29 LLORÓN, concluded in July with the arrest of more than 30 members of the criminal organisation of the HERMANOS LANAS. The Guardia Civil found more than five tons of hashish, two kilograms of cocaine, more than 30 vehicles, various firearms (including a Kalashnikov submachine gun) and more than 100,000 euro.
Since the day of the exploitation, one of the organisation’s leaders was missing, DJCM, alias CHACÓN, responsible for the organisation’s logistics infrastructure and cocaine trafficking.
Since then, this person lived between several Andalusian provinces to avoid his arrest, being an extremely elusive individual.
The Guardia Civil had information on a family event in a well-known restaurant, located at the exit of La Algaba, where relatives of the fugitive were going to celebrate a communion.
Suspecting that he could attend it, an operation has been established by UOPJ Sevilla, OCON-SUR and GAR, with personnel at all entrances and on the perimeter of the place.
Plainclothes officers – so as not to interfere with the family celebration – entered the place to proceed with the arrest.
As soon as he realised that the officers were heading towards him, he jumped a high fence and ran off across the field, but shortly afterwards he was arrested.
