A member of the Civil Guard is among those arrested in the two separate drug trafficking cases.
The Civil Guard in Ciudad Real have arrested a total of 31 people, including one of their own, in an operation against drug trafficking which resulted in the recovery of 13 kilos of cocaine.

The arrested Civil Guard is thought to have supplied information to the drug traffickers in the case which came to light when controls on drug trafficking near schools and colleges were stepped up.

The arrests were made in two separate operations carried out in the towns of Almadén and Villanueva de los Infantes. One group purchased the drug in Madrid, while the second group, controlled by Colombians, imported the drug via Barajas airport in Madrid.

The Civil Guard uncovered several points of sale in the Ciudad Real area. More arrests have not been ruled out as investigations continue.
