Two men accepted prison terms of six years and one day and three years and one day on 11 November 2026 for trafficking drugs from two homes in Salamanca. Police had seized more than 30 kg of hashish there in June 2025, alongside cocaine, MDMA, ketamine and amphetamine.

Two men identified as A.G.C. and J.V.R.F. accepted prison sentences on 11
November 2026 at a preliminary hearing before Salamanca’s Audiencia Provincial
for jointly trafficking drugs from two homes in the city.[1]La Gaceta de
Salamanca reported the agreed terms as six years and one day for A.G.C. and
three years and one day for J.V.R.F., after prosecutors had sought seven and a
half years and seven years and three months.[1]Salamanca24horas reported that
A.G.C. also accepted a fine of 198,000 euros, cut from a requested fine of
746,000 euros.[2]The parties asked the court to suspend the prison terms if
the men undergo detoxification and do not reoffend, and the prosecutor did not
oppose that, though the decision was still pending.[1]A.G.C. has been in
pre-trial detention since 20 June 2025.[3]J.V.R.F. has not entered prison,
and under the agreement reported by La Gaceta he will not do so if he notifies
any change of address, undergoes detoxification and does not reoffend.[1]
The prosecution arose from Operación Fortaleza, in which the National Police
drugs and organised crime unit, UDYCO, searched homes on Avenida de Portugal and
Calle Gran Capitán on 19 June 2025.[4]At the Portugal home officers seized8,433.33 grams of cannabis resin and 148.46 grams of cannabis, along with
cocaine, MDMA, ketamine, amphetamine, cash, two precision scales and material
for preparing doses.[3]At the Gran Capitán home, where J.V.R.F. was present,
they seized 22,008.84 grams of cannabis resin and 6.28 grams of cannabis, plus
cocaine, ketamine, MDMA and weighing equipment.[3]La Gaceta de Salamanca said
the Portugal home was used to distribute the drugs and the Gran Capitán home to
store them.[1]Officers also seized precision scales and 845 euros in cash at
the Portugal flat.[4]
Prosecutors treated the facts as a public-health offence of trafficking
substances that cause serious harm to health, aggravated by the notorious
importance of the amounts seized.[3]The prosecutor’s written qualification
valued the whole mixed seizure, calculated for sale by dose, at more than
370,000 euros.[1]

The court had not yet decided whether to suspend the agreed prison terms, which the parties requested on condition of detoxification treatment and no further offending.
The two agreed prison terms differ, so no single prison figure is recorded.
J.V.R.F.'s agreed fine was not stated; Salamanca24horas reported only A.G.C.'s 198,000-euro fine.
The headline figure of more than 32 kilograms covers all drugs together; the cannabis total is the sum of the stated resin and cannabis weights, about 30.6 kilograms.
La Gaceta described the Gran Capitán resin as more than 21 kilograms in 230 slabs, while Salamanca24horas gave a laboratory weight of 22,008.84 grams.
The valuation of more than 370,000 euros covers the whole mixed seizure, not cannabis alone.
The 845 euros is the cash La Gaceta reported at the Portugal flat, not a total for both homes.
The morning prosecution paper applied a drug-dependence mitigation only to A.G.C.; La Gaceta later said the agreement applied that mitigation to both men.
Left out, as its quotation was not found in La Gaceta de Salamanca: In the Gran Capitán home officers found a suitcase hidden between a wall and a wardrobe holding 230 hashish slabs weighing more than 21 kilograms.
Section VI of the Cadiz Provincial Court in Ceuta sentenced two men to three years and six months each after they admitted landing 43.52 kg of hashish by semi-rigid boat at El Sarchal in February 2026. Officers recovered two bags with 44 blocks and four tablets after the boat took on water and sank, and each man was also fined 500,000 euros.

A court in Santiago de Compostela sentenced a man to one year in prison and a fine of 2,026 euros for posting 441.5 grams of hashish to Malta in April 2023. He accepted the sentence in an agreement with prosecutors, and the prison term was suspended on condition that he does not reoffend within two years.
Zaragoza’s provincial court sentenced three men and a woman to three years in prison for running a very active drug-selling house on Calle del Carmen in Caspe. Searches in the August 2025 case recovered 13 grams of marijuana, 7 grams of hashish and 20 grams of hash pollen alongside cocaine, cutting agent and cash.
Córdoba’s provincial court sentenced two people in Montilla to three years each for retail trafficking of heroin, cocaine, cannabis and medicines. Searches found about 300 grams of mixed substances in total plus scales and cash, with no separate cannabis weight published.
