Inside Spain’s Narco Submarines

Synopsis

In Galicia, Spain, a network of smugglers utilizes homemade narco-submarines to transport cocaine from Latin America, capitalizing on the surge in cocaine production. Reporter Guillermo Galdos follows Spanish customs officials as they combat this growing threat, with over 90 million tonnes of drugs seized last year. Since 2019, authorities have increasingly intercepted these vessels, each capable of carrying cocaine worth over £100 million. Smugglers, often linked to Colombian cartels, employ fast boats to offload their cargo in the Atlantic before vanishing along the coast.
