THE HAGUE: Police investigating drugs trafficking and money laundering have arrested 44 suspects in 10 countries they think are part of one of Europe´s most dangerous crime networks, Europol announced on Friday.
The raids, across several European countries on Tuesday, targetted a crime organisation operating in the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and the Slovak Republic, said the statement. “The arrested individuals were suspected of belonging to a high-risk criminal network considered one of the most dangerous in the European Union,” Europol added.
