An Irish woman is among nine people arrested after Spanish police busted what they have described as a ‘Breaking Bad’ designer drug laboratory in Granada
hallucinogenic mushrooms and LSD were all produced and processed at what is believed to be the largest designer drug laboratory ever found in the province
The laboratory that was hidden within an industrial warehouse in the city of Atarfe was dismantled by the Civil Guard who believe that it was a major facility for the production of designer drugs
Eight people were arrested as “alleged perpetrators of a crime against public health for drug trafficking” while another is being held for “belonging to a criminal group”
of whom one is of Irish nationality and the other
The Civil Guard has so far seized four kilos of methamphetamine; 1.5 of amphetamine; nine litres of liquid ketamine; 500 grams of solid ketamine; 400 of MDMA; 818 doses of ecstasy; one kilo of LSD; 1.5 of MDMA rock; 32 grams of hallucinogenic mushrooms; 50 millilitres of poppers and 1,357 grams of hashish
€11,000 in banknotes of various denominations were seized
as well as four gold bars weighing 700 grams and numerous gold bracelets weighing 900 grams
Investigations have so far established that the gang had links to the United States and Germany through one of the managers of the production centre
The operation involved the distribution of the drugs “in perfectly sealed cans” in a bid to conceal the contents while many sales were made over the internet
Operation Nazarí 73 Candasu was launched a year ago and led to the arrests of the nine people
including one who was arrested a few months ago
Three of them have been placed in preventive detention
according to information provided by the Civil Guard on Wednesday
the operation was launched on the back of information obtained at rave-type parties by agents of the Organised Crime and Anti-Drug Team of the Organic Judicial Police Unit of the Civil Guard of Granada
Undercover agents who had infiltrated the parties were able to identify the drug distributors
This revealed the existence of a criminal network operating in different towns in the Metropolitan Area of Granada dedicated to the sale of various designer drugs
the Civil Guard discovered the person in charge of the criminal gang's laboratory after German customs officials intercepted a drum from Holland at Cologne airport
containing five litres of a liquid that tested positive for amphetamine
This individual was also under investigation by the DEA in the United States who identified him as a member of an organisation that was distributing synthetic drugs throughout North America and Europe via the internet
This led investigators to the names and surnames of the various members of the group
as well as the location of the laboratory where the drugs were produced
highly toxic chemical substances were seized
It was later established that the residues of these substances had ended up in the sewers
which posed a potential danger to the environment and local people
Other products such as methanol which is highly flammable and under certain conditions posed an explosive threat were seized
