MADRID, Spain (AP) - Spanish police have arrested 21 suspected members of a drug-trafficking and money-laundering gang that is believed to have laundered more than 360 million euros ($460 million) since 2001, officials said Sunday.
Most of the detainees are Spanish or Colombian, the National Police said in a statement. The arrests were made in a series of raids this month.
The investigation began in March of last year when police specializing in economic crimes detected large amounts of cash being deposited in bank accounts in the name of non-existing companies.
