7:33 pm
i know i'm affecting a lot of my job. sometimes david, that does come from my items, but i cannot do anything just to be important because the interest knows exactly which rates the launch quantities of cocaine. take from east africa to europe, a lot of studies doing some testing type this test for the delia of done and did it goes to the police, the model, the or the passport using this machine booked on the leasing funds on the ok. now focus of done cartoon of the home button tool that is left using becoming daily.

7:36 pm
so i won't give you numbers of it, but it's more than people realize. all right, one of the about not on another task, i'm one of the so you don't just like the bananas come in for the oranges and shoes at the end of the day. it's a business like any other. and if there's demand, you have to be there to serve it. to see i'm going to hand the point that even some of the smaller independent games that transport cocaine by sp the snow. but what am i talking about? you know, that also works. but the most common and safer way is by container that everybody's got us. and sometimes it tells you speed, but it's to transport more than $280.00 tons of drugs, including cocaine every month on the 14 kilometer straight separating spain in the real cause. carlos post a swat is works for spanish customs. he's preparing for an operation,
7:37 pm
a night patrol to detect smugglers from a real coat on the strength of japan. delta is no sign common for customs and police officers to chase down smugglers. often they escaped because they take great to risk and drive foster carlos and his colleagues are prepared for anything we carry weapons and sometimes we do use them if not frequent, rather rare actually. but they can be used in these facilities, but it's clear that when they are used, it's only as a deterrent to stop them when they're making very dangerous maneuvers. it's an elaborate and expensive sites. in 2018 spain launched a security plan to tackle illegal drug smuggling. in mid 2020 it's budget was
7:38 pm
increased by 48200000 euros. although arrests have increased, the problem is still fall from under control. cano says radar indicates movement. safety reasons, we turn off the cabin lights and what does the room for save it. okay. they will and protect it if possible. turn it on radar way. that means less and you know, it's very things you mean, but something is moving or preparing for anything to possibly. i said what can i do order and then when it was gonna continue moving in there, here we can see that it's moving the spot. i have approached slowly in preparing case that the smuggler then carlos and his team pick up speed crossing the ocean at
7:39 pm
a 100 kilometer has an hour. something is there, but okay. the it has no life. okay . we lost it on the phone, so it was a false alarm, but we have to check everything. we'll get the model. let's see. so rough, it's hard to distinguish between ways and a possible target. the possibility of this is sometimes there are choices and it's not easy to stay calm and keep your cool scenario. see if we can get a bit dicey though to the safety
7:40 pm
always comes 1st on separate until in other words, staying alive is more important than catching the smugglers. at least offices estimate the top 10 speed boats in drugs to show here every 92 to 3 times a week. they can track down and convict smokeless films here by the spanish civil gods. the deals ortiz also often make large contain finds in the course of, of his data. in early 2022 to tons of cocaine was found in a container declared as frozen as times. both ortiz are primarily concerned with
7:41 pm
tracking down the people behind it. he, a police are preparing for a rage. they allow us to accompany the dangerous operation. or at the end of a, de, we start to know, preparation to tackle money a long drive and will carry, have 6 rates and will tediously in the provinces of kathy's and malika. here we go . we start with a colleague system, the buildings of the special unit taylor. this is an area with us unemployment high as an 80 percent. the average wage is 1050 euro so months in just one day, smugglers can and several 1000 to years. and so more and more young people getting involved in the legal drug business style. another thing that we never know who will find behind the door eat, i'm gonna,
7:42 pm
when the danger is always in the unknown. these avian, usually things turn out well, but there have been cases where we have run into dangerous situations. some even involving gunfire. 100, obviously, the regular rates are intended to dismantle the criminal structures. there was several raids like this one at least 2 days a week. the, the moments just before the rate of the most dangerous, we stay back the the operation goes smoothly. the suspect is arrested without resistance. the next step is to search the place with infancy bill cycle here in italy,
7:43 pm
we've recovered money and we live more than 6000 euros. so they think of a mental we also find a large coil of 56 meters. but that was ending the top. i was under a cabinet so it was very likely intended as a hiding place. okay, towing. that's the way that we'll see you. so i just talked to him the trial man. we documented everything important so that there is clear evidence. somebody who is here and i think also, and the fact is that that'd be so this is a bi smuggling with cocaine and money laundering been been men, which is to say that the drug traffic is not good if every dollar, both of them and you see the, i think it's a huge asset by the coast guard and the police. and yet nadine yet remains a gateway to europe's the how she and cocaine. no way in europe, a more narcotic seized in spain with its thousands of colors, inches of maritime coast boot during the mediterranean and atlantic. many 50 tons
7:44 pm
of cocaine was seized by spanish authorities in spain in 2020 allowed yet. that's just a drop in the ocean. deal if any lives here, the legal, dana eh, the cocaine business is running the world by anything, by the government. you buy what you need to, i and the people you need to buy to make your business run well, but because it's so much money people get involved. but i ended up at the some of the expensive neighborhoods in the ninette didn't exist until a few years ago. when the residents money comes from is an open secret. the push of rush to them, the knowledge is to deep poor to poor senior rep. millions of contained as a handled here every year. and it's impossible to check each one for contraband. never been as large quantities of cocaine and being intercepted here with increasing frequency. we made customs offices in the daily work.
7:45 pm
for security reasons, we not revealing the names. they're on their way simona to the containers using a brand new procedure. the number of containers checked here has increased 10 fold . the individual contain is a no longer open this before. instead, an assumption is taken on secured data. doke, skin efficiency checks the samples without having to be led to each container. i'm working with a civics. it is of course my 3 me is a very container. we only need 3 minutes per container to extract the air. normally, it takes much longer. the bill is gone. so now we can check many more containers like the local, the whole thing now even works on the board of shit and i have no control across the board and get ears of each container. they are 2 degrees and then goes on team
7:46 pm
rebecca just because then we take it to the control station. what the dog can work in piece. you can imagine that the dog has to do here between the containers and the noise is more difficult. the end of march specific and the order settled in the course involves this um, as on both adults can and recognize the smells depending on what kind of sniffer dokie use them all the way from what he is trained to do at the custom station, the samples that are opened for the dog, the scenarios, the dog to check 6 containers samples that once in the shortest possible time. it's a game changer for international customs officer cheese, the the dog signals that he seems to have smelled and of course, heck the suspicious contain it is natural now will so x ray,
7:47 pm
with immobile x rays system, the limit of streaming goes across over to the next couple investigate, but dogs check was positive, meaning we need confirmation, so it goes to the mobile scan. but here it turns out that the container is negative after all. so the journey can continue. now, as i said to him is the light of the sip of the nights is the most dangerous time that the towards the customs officers don't take a break so. so as we have, as you know, several suspicious ships arrives in our sector today. and you'll go to get lost the but we are expecting people to return to pick up drugs from the port i. so that's also a source of this is when we are the sect of our main system. we are talking about one of the larger container companies. it's a name, it is likely that they will try to leave the port to specific route, but i us going all to overpower. so let's keep our eyes open and see if we can spot
7:48 pm
anyone done with those. if there's only a camera surveillance is online, people are standing fine. basically, we're good to go. are there any questions over? is there any more info? now this has been a goal with a who lives the 3 ships of a very high priority. we assign something, they are more often than mount supposedly that's the input we have to work with. that's all we have over. yeah. let's go, let's go. every shipment that brings cocaine into the pool to attract smugglers who come to pick up the goods. tens of thousands of euro's a said to be paid for such an operation. the customs office is trying to track them down day and tonight. now we go to mazda flux, that's we're all big container ships and terminals are an important place for
7:49 pm
inspections. will relieve the night shift about the 1st thing we do with patrol the relevant areas. we look to see if there are any irregularities in which people are there. of course we're available for the control center and keep our eyes and ears open. today it's quiet. the customs officers use the time for an exercise that we're hosting an arrest. it's important to always be prepared. this is actually home sick or ex 900 delta wayne, dot and have a road direction. malik a router, stop sign to my locker room. the gateway 93 track straight the
7:50 pm
the customs officers get down to inspect the vehicle. you bring your drivers license, you can take it with you. the good afternoon. sand here. what are you doing here? this our work here. working yeah, yeah, a lot of work. so your hands on the, on your hands, spread your arm so you're under arrest. in accordance with narcotic, small turnaround on your knees. colleagues, the risk for narcotics in your mouth. orbits like their own spread. most everything always goes this smoothly. the customs officers sees the cane in the
7:51 pm
trunk before posting your tone to the also ortiz is kind of low in our laboratory as a sample, as tested to determine whether it really is cocaine. i'm not allowed to say how often this happens, but i can say that we've already sees 50000 t lows this year. the, the search for drugs is like finding a needle in a haystack. in europe, knowledge is deep bought to port is nearly impossible to find everything, despite the most modern methods to always be a cats and most game we find drugs. and we take someone i took circulation by then other players finding new ways to smoking the drugs into the country again. and that's how we will always go on seats. what is changing?
7:52 pm
nichols is a spiral into violence or tracking day more and more narcotics. and this is also intensifying that resistance, defiant is getting more and more graceful as power along with billions of euros and profit solid state. every year people are killed in the netherlands. and summer 2021. a journalist became a victim of the drug. marcia intended to come to susan. let us the slow. i'm the one of the countries that's not journalist has gone down in broad daylight in amsterdam, the eldest peter or the fries to be fighting for his life to shield the 64 year old was considered an expert in the field and organized crime was indeed one moment visiting the at the moment, we know he's pointing for his light towards the 9th crime report to deface dies on the side lines of on the trial against 1000000000 ad drug traffic because he was a media or advisor to a, to witness. the murder shows that the cartels in the netherlands will stop at
7:53 pm
nothing. tobacco for supremacy on the cane market does not stop at the board as the dreadful seems to have arrived in europe. hobbin huffman is a criminal a just and research is cocaine trafficking at maastricht. university, he's shocked by the developments right on his doorstep. and there's things donita along isn't the time. that's best advice because to have them and the sheet is what's going on child. i think the netherlands is the best example of the moment where you see how a trunk key please, an escalating conflict of a drug complete company come unbelievably brutal. what do you see, how such a conflict is carried out on the open, straight left glass. so here in the netherlands, yet you have about $20.00 to $30.00 assassination per year on the open street. this ties to stick with, often with automatic weapons of, of a nice guy. so, bystanders smith are also hit sometimes because of then you have to see in germany
7:54 pm
too that there is the danger of a similar open conflict from arise at some point side of some of the conflict that has not yet taken place to see it something new such a brutalization affect the phone, but it cannot be ruled out that this will be the case sometimes defies on gemini is also increasingly affected by a seemingly relentless desire for cocaine. testing cap had to gone to is the health policies folks pass into the green body and gemini, she sees the fight against contain imports as having failed to add to one best use . of course, we have a situation in which this huge flood of cocaine is no longer possible to control or check the security authorities. the police, the traditional eerie, are always behind the curve to finish dog and ultimately a hundreds leader to organized crime is extremely resourceful. in finding new
7:55 pm
traffic in, right, do you do you come to the controls and basically fail? cuz i thought you had to be individual in election? yeah, i'm it. and i think the development and recent years with the increasing numbers of cocaine conversations is very dangerous. i think the best example is another, let us know because we see what such an organ conflict can look like. i'm in the area of drug related crimes. i see the one kind. it has to be said this as a all based on cocaine with that is that there is a loss of talk about canada is coming about. ultimately cocaine has led to this brutalization because the profits are correspondingly large. education course isn't chris excited. the state needs to track down honda that's commercial drug trafficking already carries a penalty of up to 15 years in prison. however, with profit margins of more than a 100 percent. not clearly doesn't scare dealers like us and months. it's
7:56 pm
been me, it's because so if we're caught now we wouldn't say a word and would wait until our lawyer arrived. he would take care of everything, even if they can initiate any kind of proceedings. it rarely comes to a conviction that because it has been negotiated down to personal use, we have good lawyers. why should my life be worth less than some students? you know, just because he was encouraged in the past and brought up by his parents. so those . yeah, ok, i went on, i didn't have that for me, there was no push to go to school. i don't know if there was an outside or in school problems which why should i earn less than society's most accomplished though? you know, so just a whole, it is precisely these high honors who need the drugs. we need some dirt which we need. they need something in the end. they come to people like me because of it just because they were born in a better part of society, social class. and because they're to, why should i settle for less? because i didn't choose where i was born,
7:57 pm
which was without the lower class. nothing works for the top or to we are, the foundation is for them. the curtain is booming. business is booming. simone this high contain, is becoming the people's drug and it still has a good image. despise whole, the media reports about drug cartels and murphy of on an addict. like the know what's in lie. this is additional to waste possible to get house and waiting for you for the printer to come. this is, may i ask who i'm getting off the drug? i think that's more than just the struggle and that's like a little more sharply because it's just everywhere the files. and that was so hard . i hope i never forget that. so that it never happens to me again. no more procedures has been clean for a year. now. she wants her story to serve as
7:58 pm
a warning against the seduction of dangers of the drug, which seems to flood gemini as a more on check the into the conflicts with sim sebastian big smoke getting the headlines these days, but the warning ukraine has lost none of its intensity from capitol hill. hughes, my guess is the prime minister as the more goes on, how much space does she have any laser signs for defending the voltage space? conflict in 30 minutes on dw
