Arrests took place in Spain where a criminal organization active in smuggling cigarettes, operating in Spain, and led by Bulgarian citizens, has been disrupted. The operation is yet another example of the fruitful cooperation between the Chief Directorate "Combating Organized Crime" at the Ministry of Interior of Bulgaria and the National Police and the Spanish Customs Surveillance Directorate.
