The drugs operation in Son Banya on Friday had been a year in the development and planning. There were in fact two operations - the National Police's Atlántida and the Guardia Civil's X Gemina (named after one of Julius Caesar's legions) - but they amounted to the same thing. There was was to be a joint attack on the shanty town, a key aim of which was to capture Gabriel A. G., 'El Ove', who has become something of an heir to 'La Paca' but has never had the power of the former drugs matriarch.

Restores your faith in the effectiveness of the Spanish Police forces ( 3 of them for God’s sake) in mounting a targeted operation and having no idea where the target is! No wonder the crims love Spain. And even when caught, as Mr Ede alludes to, they get soft slaps and walk free.
Pretty sure its Zoltan Teglas they are looking for!
