Spanish police have arrested the notorious boss of a Dutch-Moroccan cocaine cartel believed to have smuggled billions of euros worth of cocaine from South America through Europe’s largest ports over the past 15 years.

The arrest of Karim Bouyakhrichan, 46, known as ‘Taxi,’ came on charges of laundering tens of millions of euros through the purchase of 172 properties in Spain. He will likely be extradited to the Netherlands to face charges related to years of trafficking cocaine by the metric ton from South America to Europe.
