In what was dubbed Operation Typhoon-Crain, which began on October 4, 26 people have been arrested, all of them allegedly members of the so-called Clan de los Fausto, a family group based in the Aljarafe region and allegedly led by a woman, according to details sources close to the investigation.

Of those arrested, 14 have finally gone to court and, of them, 10 have entered prison.

Sources from the Civil Guard highlight the violent nature of the group, which was intervened with a cane-pistol and who is accused of the attempted hit by one of its agents at a roadblock.

It was precisely this event, which occurred last February, which gave rise to the start of the investigations.

Agents of the Civil Guard Roca Teams (specialized in the fight against robberies that occur in rural areas) were then investigating the commission of various crimes against people and property in Pilas, a municipality of 14,000 inhabitants located 97 kilometers west of Seville.

During the investigation, the investigators detected the presence of several vehicles that managed to avoid roadblocks after allegedly being alerted through messages on an instant messaging application of the police presence.

The investigations have revealed that the network acquired boxes of this medicine for 120 euros in the coastal city and resold them in the Maghreb country for 250 euros, more than double.

The Civil Guard suspects that, subsequently, those now detained brought the new drug to Spain for sale.

Records have found 200 grams of a substance that, in the absence of confirmation from chemical analyses, appears to be

In the operation, 15 searches have been carried out in homes in Pilas, Aznalcóllar and Aznalcázar, as well as two in the city of Alicante, by order of the head of the Court of First Instance and Instruction 2 of Sanlúcar la Mayor (Seville).
