Drug kingpin's inner circle taken down in Bosnia: Europol

(ANSA) - BELGRADE, APR 23 - In a large-scale raid in Bosnia and Herzegovina, law enforcement officers swarmed the homes and offices of 23 people suspected of being part of the 'inner circle' of a drug kingpin apprehended in November 2022, Europol reported. The action marks another step forward in the fight against the so-called'super cartel,' an alliance of criminal networks that controlled much of Europe's cocaine trade, according to Europol. Over 40 locations were searched by officers on the ground, who were assisted by Europol specialists, the United States Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents.
