Drug boat routes
He The largest volume of hashish leaving Morocco Drug trafficking enters Spain through these narco-boats, although drug traffickers also use fishing boats, sailboats and pleasure boats. Enter Spain through Strait of Gibraltar through Campo de Gibraltar, Huelva and, in general, through Andalusia.
THE Narcolanchas are semi-rigid inflatable boatsbetween 12 and 16 meters long and 2.5 meters wide. They have up to four engines. Each engine costs up to 30,000 euros. They are very powerful against which the Civil Guard boats, sometimes attacked by drug traffickers, cannot do much. A few months ago, even a patrol boat of the Civil Guard Maritime Service, the Río Belelle, was hit by drug boat during chase in March. So there were no injuries. Very different from the fate suffered by two agents who were murdered on their knees by drug traffickers in February in Barbate on board a drug boat, while they were cheered by other drug traffickers.
