Operation ‘Aguileo’: Crime Group Exposed
The police operation codenamed ‘Aguileo’ uncovered the criminal organization’s structure. The gang operated according to a well-organized plan: one group collected information in Puerto Serrano, others monitored the area and verified data, while a third group carried out the actual raid.
During the investigation, police conducted 15 raids in various locations—ranging from Puerto Serrano to the cities of Sevilla, Guillena, Alcalá del Río, and Carmona.

The case materials have been handed over to the Chiclana court, which is investigating the circumstances of the crime.
Various police units took part in the operation, including rapid response teams, special squads from Sevilla and Cádiz, as well as canine units. The investigation is ongoing, and it is possible that more suspects will be detained in the near future.
