Summary
A four-month Guardian investigation reports that Latin American criminal organisations from Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Ecuador, Venezuela and the US are active in at least 12 European countries, including Croatia, Germany, Romania and Slovakia, with an unpublished Brazilian prosecution report citing the PCC network operating in 16 countries including Serbia. The investigation, based on police and intelligence data and interviews with judges and prosecutors in eight countries, notes cocaine seizures in Europe rose 471 percent between 2014 and 2024, with some experts estimating cartel presence is even broader.
