In Barcelona a motorhome was detected that was supposed to bring 534 kilos of cocaine to Euskal Herria. The total value of drugs on the black market would be around EUR 60 million. The investigation began two weeks ago in Bilbao. In the last ten years, it has been the biggest CAPV-oriented smuggling issue.

The motorhome was sent to South America with a support for the transportation of the two kayas and bicycles, in order to hide the drug traffic. EITB says it's been a criminal organization.

He spent two years waiting for motorhomes in South America because of the mobility restrictions generated by Covid-19.

Denis Itxaso, representative of the Government of Spain at the CAPV, pointed out that the investigation began in 2019 and that two people have been arrested in the operation.
