Six alleged members of the Russian/Georgian mafia arrested

Six alleged members of the Russian/Georgian mafia have been arrested, during the early hours of Wednesday, in Cataluña on money laundering charges.

They also face charges of document falsification and illicit association, with the arrests and searches carried out in Salou, Vilafortuny and Cambrils, in a police operation codenamed ‘Java’.
The swoops were joint action between the regional Mossos d’Esquadra and the National Police, and follows 24 earlier arrests in March this year in several provinces across Spain.

It appears that the group was laundering money through restaurants and construction in Spain.
