The detectives also secured €3 million in cash, weapons, explosives and ammunition.
The gang is said to be responsible for shipping at least seven tons of cocaine from South America to Europe. According to Europol, she was notorious in the underworld for her acts of violence and robberies of luxury goods. One of the suspects is said to be the former leader of the infamous Pink Panther gang. She is held responsible by detectives for some 380 armed robberies in which jewelery worth more than 330 million euros was stolen.
