Five people linked to 'Los Angeles del Inferno' arrested for drug trafficking

The National Police, in collaboration with their Danish counterparts and Europol, have carried out an operation within the framework of which they have arrested five people -two of them in Malaga and three in Denmark- belonging to a criminal group dedicated to drug trafficking drugs with ties to the motorcycle gang known as Los Angeles del Inferno.

As detailed this Saturday by the Police, the members of this organization -members or aspirants to join the biker gang- would have introduced more than 3.5 tons of hashish into Denmark using live animal transport.

Danish agents began an investigation years ago into this criminal organization dedicated to the distribution of hashish in Copenhagen and neighboring cities. As a result of this, the agents verified in December 2022 the presence in Marbella (Málaga) of two members of the organization: a Danish former member of Los Angeles del Infierno and an aspirant to join the biker gang.

These people were in charge of contacting hashish suppliers in Morocco and organizing its introduction into Spain and subsequent shipment to Denmark. Both individuals had a record in Spain, where they had been arrested last year as a result of a settling of scores between criminal organizations, in addition to having been arrested on other occasions for drug trafficking and other associated crimes.

After this finding, a joint investigation began in both countries that allowed it to be proven that the organization had introduced more than three tons of hashish into Denmark, to be later distributed to medium- and small-scale traffickers.

On May 31, the operation culminated in which, in addition to the five arrests, various searches were carried out in which 59,000 euros were located in a house in Spain and hashish in Denmark, in addition to numerous computer and telephone material used by the organization.
