International police operation dismantles 'Banca de Dubai' narco-bank; 21 arrested

A multinational police operation arrested 21 individuals, including the alleged leader, in a coordinated crackdown on 'Banca de Dubai', a financial network serving drug cartels. The arrests, 14 in Spain, target the network's money-laundering infrastructure. The operation's scope and the network's full clientele remain unclear, but it signals sustained law-enforcement pressure on drug-financing channels.
