The Spanish authorities have issued a press release confirming a series of raids in the provinces of Barcelona and Valencia and the arrest of five people.
The raids and arrests are said to be the second phase of Operation Probirka, the first phase of which was conducted in October 2024 (see our previous post).
The bodies involved were the National Police and the Tax Agency.
The allegations include the use of front companies and dummy intermediaries in Kyrgyzstan and Armenia, and the export of chemicals which can be used in the manufacture of explosives and chemical weapons.
