The National Police has seized 80 kilograms of cocaine, two firearms, and 117 cartridges in Valencia, thus concluding the investigation of Operation Diana.

The seizure is part of a nationwide operation that dismantled a large-scale drug trafficking group in April 2025. The confiscation of this amount of cocaine corresponds to one of the latest lines of investigation opened in Operation Diana, as reported by the National Police.
The total count of items seized during the various phases of this investigation, which began early last year, includes 322 kilograms of cocaine hidden in various locations, such as modified vehicles ('caleteados'). Additionally, approximately 57 kilograms of hashish, over 12 kilograms of marijuana, 979 grams of heroin, and a large quantity of MDMA pills have been confiscated.
During the course of the investigation, over 554,000 euros in cash, twelve gold bars, eight firearms, various prohibited and simulated weapons, numerous 9mm ammunition rounds, and 36 vehicles were also found.
As a result of the operation, 17 individuals have been sent to provisional prison for their alleged membership in a criminal organization involved in large-scale drug trafficking.
