The expansions of the Sinaloa Cartel in Spain have been affected with a sample of the millionaire luxuries left by the drug trafficking business, according to seizures of high-end cars, jewelry, money, mansions, front companies, bank accounts and tons of drugs.This mega-seizure by the Spanish authorities glimpsed the scope of the economic power of the criminal organization that has been consolidated for decades in Mexico and whose operations have been detected in the five continents of the planet.According to the official report, a family clan is involved in the criminal structure of Spain, something that distinguishes the Sinaloa Cartel, since the factions are led by groups that often collaborate with each other to protect themselves or send cargo, but they are not a vertical command company, according to analysts and reports consulted by Infobae Mexico.The investigations that led to the seizure in the middle of recent May were accentuated by the arrival of several Mexicans in Madrid at the end of 2020. With the course of the investigations, it was established that the emissaries from Sinaloa were linked to the criminal group that introduced more than ten million euros in cash and investment gold to settle in the country.It has not been specified to which specific branch the criminal operators belonged, but reports assure that the 24 detainees are linked to the Mexican transnational crime group.His traces are distinguished with the sumptuousness seized in narco-laboratories, smart greenhouses and opulent houses in the provinces of Madrid, Guadalajara and Malaga.Currently, the Sinaloa Cartel is headed by three main axes with an angular reference.The maximum ringleader is Ismael Zambada García, el Mayo, who has never been arrested;On another flank are the narco-junior heirs known as the Chapitos, sons of Joaquín Guzmán Loera, el Chapo;and the same level of relevance accommodates the brothers of the last leader to serve a life sentence: Aureliano Guzmán Loera, el Guano, and Miguel Ángel Guzmán Loera, el Mudo.To any of these directions is attributed the intention to secure their crimes in the European country, although other interventions have been detected in the Netherlands and Italy.A coveted route starts from the Mexican or Chilean coasts towards Africa to reach the Sahel area and from there, ascend north with Morocco as the nodal point.However, there are also direct connections with the ports of the old continent.According to the report of the Spanish National Police, the first Sinaloans to arrive immediately settled in luxury homes.A short time later they began to work in marijuana plantations in Guadalajara, where they were regularly visited by alleged drug traffickers.As if they were dream jobs with high earnings, those under investigation bought dozens of luxurious cars and exclusive and/or high-end residential properties.In the graphs shared by the authorities, the same fleets of Range-type Land Rovers are observed;Lamborghini Urus trucks, Rolls-Royce Phantom;porsche;late model Cadillac Escalade;in addition to Mercedes Benz, Audi, BMW and Volvo cars.In order not to be detected, drug traffickers constantly changed homes.They did not choose humble or rented apartments, they moved into luxury properties.They also bought and sold jewelry and more sports cars that exceeded 500 thousand euros, something like 10.4 million Mexican pesos per transaction.The expenses came from money laundering.According to the seized assets, the same is observed large-caliber rifles, handguns, bills, cash counting machines, as well as about 30 high-end watches, including gold;more than 50 chains and rosaries of the same metal;euro coins;coupled with luxurious bracelets, also metallic.Due to the shared materials, their Catholic religion is presumed, since among the medals there were numerous crosses adorned with inlays.The alleged lieutenants of the Sinaloa Cartel bought and established several businesses, as well as companies to launder illicit capital obtained from the sale of drugs.But all this went hand in hand with bribing various officials to help them settle down and get documents.They were not only Mexican operators, but also citizens from other countries such as the Netherlands, Croatia and China, who already had a criminal record and had previously spent time in prison for drug trafficking.According to the official report, the group of Sinaloans saw their entry into a market that was not theirs facilitated.To do this, they formed a business model with front companies in Spain, Portugal and Switzerland to exploit marijuana crops.The plantations were located in various Spanish provinces to extract products derived from CBD in Swiss and Portuguese laboratories.This is how 60 tons of plants were intervened and the initial operations were blocked.After that, the criminals invested in creating containers with intelligent software that would allow them to harvest crops in less than three months.The Mexicans saw the potential and tried to buy that business, but again they were stopped.Finally, the Spanish authorities found drug warehouses, as well as plantations of more than 4,000 square meters where the drug was stored under vacuum, which was later distributed in double bottoms of tables and more furniture sent by parcel.But the Sinaloa Cartel used its influence in South America and sent various citizens who transported packets of cocaine in coffee packaging.Subsequently, the narcotic was distributed in drug laboratories in Madrid to Croatian and Dutch buyers who already knew them.Even Chinese drug dealers introduced the product in Spanish prisons.As a result of the 13 searches, 24 people were arrested and 37 kilos of cocaine were seized.A ton of marijuana buds, 10 weapons, 105,116 euros in cash were also seized;17 vehicles and four homes valued at seven million euros.Likewise, two narco-laboratories and two greenhouses were dismantled.In addition to the blocking of 20 bank accounts.With this case they add two processes of Sinaloans identified with drug trafficking operations in Spain in the last year.Well, in October 2021, the Civil Guard dismantled a network that used at least 5 small planes and two helicopters to send shipments of marijuana from Morocco.Operation Lemon Trees resulted in drug seizures, the arrest of 41 people, weapons and a crop, as well as the mega-seizure of 1,290 kilos of hashish that did not reach the European market.This cell had a school for pilots with personnel brought from Sinaloa.It all started by investigating a Mexican citizen who had an accident with a helicopter in Morocco and who was previously staying in Seville in September 2019.Clandestine runways, hidden bases, maritime traffic, spare parts and flight manuals also fell into these actions.The dominated area was the coasts of Huelva, Murcia, Toledo and Cáceres.But now they approached the Spanish capital.
