Show Notes
In the late 2010s, Europol collaborated with police in Europe, Asia, South America and the United States as part of Operation Familia. The operation targeted a Balkan cartel who were shipping vast amounts of cocaine to the European Union, using new methods that marked them out as a sophisticated criminal network. By the end of the operation, over a tonne of cocaine and millions of euros would be seized by law enforcement.
In this episode of The Europol Podcast, Europol and the DEA will give you a behind-the-scenes look at Operation Familia, one of Europol’s biggest cocaine trafficking investigations.
