The operation called ‘Yedra’ has so far seen the arrest of three Spaniards who have been sent immediately to prison by the judge two weeks ago, but more people are thought to be implicated and the investigation continues open. One of the arrested has a record for drug trafficking.

A case of money laundering in the Churriana area is thought to be linked to this case.

Now the Guardia Civil have the unenviable task to try and identify the origin of all the weapons, most of which were found in a location in Mijas.
All types of weapons have been found in varying condition and with the corresponding ammunition.

The Guardia Civil Department of Arms and Explosives Inspection, has catalogued several types of shotgun, assault rifles, submachine guns, machine guns and an important number of small weapons

The size of the case has led the Guardia Civil to contact other barracks across Spain to create a multi-disciplined group to extend the investigation, in which Interpol is also involved.

The weapons are believed to be linked to specialists in international terrorism, organised crime and drug trafficking.
