This arrest marks a significant step in combating international drug trafficking networks operating between Spain and France. The suspect had been under surveillance by the International Criminal Police Organization, known as Interpol, which had issued a red notice at the request of the Central National Bureau in Paris due to his alleged involvement in a criminal organization engaged in the trafficking of narcotics.
