Officers in Scotland and Spain carried out a series of simultaneous raids in March, as part of a long-running probe into serious organised crime.

Properties in the Costa del Sol and Barcelona were raided as part of Operation Armorum.

Officers seized a number of electronic devices, large amounts of cash, cryptocurrency wallets, company documents and high-end watches.

The operation, in conjunction with the UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA), targeted alleged members of the Lyons group and led to 14 arrests across four countries.

The Guardia Civil said the Lyons’ criminal network extended across Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

A statement released in April said they used a “complex money laundering network based on shell companies and international financial transactions, managing millions of euros derived from drug trafficking”.

They described the Lyons gang as “one of the most significant players in contemporary European organised crime”.
