One of mainland Spain¿s main hashish trafficking networks smashed in Huelva
National Police, the Tax Agency and the Civil Guard have arrested 14 people, and have seized 5,100 kilograms of hashish in Huelva. The stashes were being brought onto the province¿s beaches in semi-rigid boats, and subsequently the network was storing and transporting the drugs, and laundering the money through an entrepreneurial framework. The ringleader is still at large, and police have called for assistance from the public via social networks.

The gang¿s leader is called Sergio Mora, who goes by the nickname Yeyo, a former speedboat racing driver. He is considered one of Spain¿s most prolific traffickers of hashish. According to police, not a single kilogram of hashish made it to shore in Huelva without his say-so.
His organisation was dismantled on 3rd October, although he had already fled, possibly to Morocco, according to sources involved in the investigation. Yeyo was obsessed with semi-rigid boats, and the ability to drive them opened up opportunities for him in drug-trafficking across the Strait. Six vessels of this type have been seized as part of this police operation, as have two jet-skis, a light aircraft and a microlight. Following a stint spent in and out of prison, Yeyo became obsessed with security.
His organization used sophisticated encrypted phones that announced departures by boats from Morocco bound for Huelva. The next step for the Yeyo cartel was to be cocaine: he was looking to set up a flying club for transporting the drug using seaplanes, until police once again came knocking, albeit too late because he had escaped. Police have posted Yeyo's details on social networks in the hope that assistance from the public might help pinpoint his whereabouts.
