Large police operation: searches at around 30 locations across several cities
Searches led by the Bureau for Public Safety and the Department for Organized and Serious Crime, supervised by a public prosecutor.
Special police units and uniformed officers carried out coordinated operations across several cities early this morning, conducting searches at roughly 30 locations as part of a broader probe linked to suspected drug-related activity.
Authorities and scope of the operation
The raids were executed by teams from the Ministry of Interior, with the Bureau for Public Safety leading search actions at the targeted addresses. The Department for Organized and Serious Crime is coordinating investigative work under the supervision of a public prosecutor from the Basic Public Prosecutor's Office for Prosecution of Organized Crime and Corruption.
Officials said the operation targets an alleged organized criminal group suspected of involvement in the illegal production and distribution of narcotic substances. Police units remained deployed throughout the morning while investigators carried out on-site searches and evidence collection.
No arrests or charges were announced publicly at the time authorities described the measures as ongoing; procedural steps will continue after the completion of the searches, the Ministry of Interior reported.
Investigators said the action is part of a wider effort to dismantle networks involved in narcotics trafficking and to gather evidence that could lead to prosecutions. Further updates are expected once the investigative and prosecutorial teams compile their findings.
