Making money has never been a problem for the cartels of Spain, but laundering it has. In a recent crackdown in Seville June 20, 2021. The Civil Guard, executed warrants for the PANECITO operation. They claim it has dismantled a criminal organisation that laundered capital from drug trafficking. 7 people have been arrested and another 20 have been investigated in the Sevillian towns of Lebrija and El Cuervo. The operation began after seizing more than 4,000 marijuana plants from an organization in June last year. After that, the agents detected how behind this network there was an important network of companies run by a family clan, which had been diversifying the origin of the funds obtained, as a result of the cocaine trafficking, for more than 10 years. After 9 months of investigation, it was detected that the organization used the most varied techniques to launder that important amount of money that they had obtained illegally. To do this, they used figureheads and front companies to title part of the movable and luxury real estate owned by the criminal organisation. They also simulated work contracts by outside companies, registering members of the network with social security despite the fact that they did not receive payments from these companies or perform any effective work. They used vehicles from various companies without economic activity in order to avoid civil liability derived from the crimes they had committed. This organisation would have used about 65 different vehicles to evade police control. Once the business and economic plot of the group was known and after requesting authorization from the Court of First Instance and Instruction number 1 of Lebrija, properties of the members of the organization were registered, in which they found more than 130,000 euros in cash and abundant documentation that is being analyzed. The court has decreed the seizure of all the properties of the organization and its members, the blocking of more than 150 bank accounts, the cessation of commercial activity of the 8 companies that ran the group.
