Two agents with the code names Encina and Manzanares managed to infiltrate a criminal organization that was planning to bring cocaine through the port of Vigo. They pretended to be part of a logistics group to guard the drugs and gained the trust of the Malaga crime boss Damián R. U., who offered them 1,775,000 euros. The ringleader, known as Oldmandarine on Telegram, is wanted.
Criminal logistics and the human factor in undercover operations 🕵️
The infiltration by Encina and Manzanares required meticulous intelligence work and analysis of communication patterns. The agents replicated the dynamics of a real logistics network, managing waiting times, security protocols, and controlled meetings. This type of operation demands not only courage but also a deep understanding of how organized crime operates in port environments, where technology and the human factor intertwine.
Oldmandarine, the crime boss who asked for a meeting with technical support 😅
This Damián, alias Oldmandarine on Telegram, went to such lengths with security that he even asked the police to get out of the car to search them. Well, for such a distrustful crime boss, trusting two guys who turned out to be agents was a rookie mistake. Good thing he didn't ask for references on Google. Now, while he flees, his partners face a trial that promises more twists than a Netflix series.
