Divisió d'Investigació Criminal (DIC)

The Divisió d'Investigació Criminal (DIC) is the criminal investigation division of the Mossos d'Esquadra, the autonomous police force of Catalonia, Spain. They are currently newsworthy due to their involvement in several recent operations targeting international drug and arms trafficking networks. Recent events include the arrest of nine individuals in a joint operation with the Servicio de Vigilancia Aduanera (DAVA) targeting a drug trafficking network between Catalonia and France, leading to raids in Figueres, Salt, and Argentona and the dismantling of two plantations. Additionally, the DIC is participating in a large-scale operation with the Policía Nacional and Europol in Barcelona and other locations in Catalonia and Andalusia, aimed at dismantling a criminal network involved in international arms and drug trafficking. These operations highlight the DIC's role in combating organized crime and international trafficking within Catalonia and its collaboration with other law enforcement agencies.
