Cracking Down on Cartels

The Europol Podcast

In the late 2010s, Europol collaborated with police in Europe, Asia, South America and the United States as part of Operation Familia. The operation targeted a Balkan cartel who were shipping vast amounts of cocaine to the European Union, using new methods that marked them out as a sophisticated criminal network. By the end of the operation, over a tonne of cocaine and millions of euros would be seized by law enforcement.

In this episode of The Europol Podcast, Europol and the DEA will give you a behind-the-scenes look at Operation Familia, one of Europol’s biggest cocaine trafficking investigations.
