In Brazil, a 26-year-old woman was arrested in Canindé, Ceará, while transporting 67 kg of drugs from São Paulo. She was traveling with an bus, carrying 30 kg of marijuana and 37 kg of cocaine in her luggage. Authorities discovered the drugs during a routine check after she transferred to a ride service. She faces drug trafficking charges, which could lead to up to 15 years in prison. The investigation is ongoing to identify others connected to the operation.

In a shocking twist, the Spanish National Police have detained Óscar Sánchez Gil, head of the country’s economic crime and anti-money laundering unit, over alleged ties to a major drug trafficking network. Sánchez Gil and his wife, who is also an officer, were reportedly hiding over €20 million in illicit gains at their home. https://smugglewire.com/spains-top-anti-money-laundering-officer-arrested-over-ties-to-drug-syndicate/
