The boss is a member of a well-known family from the Spanish city Castellar de la Frontera, which uses a fish company in Algeciras as a front. | A court in Spain’s Andalucia released Antonio Tejón, the leader of the Castanas criminal group on bail for €400k. He spent nearly three years in jail. The mega-case against Tejon and his henchmen is ongoing at the Algeciras courts in the province of Cadiz. Two huge rooms at the Algeciras courts are for the biggest trial in Spanish history. The Guardia Civil believes Tejon has assets of €30m. Cops have amassed information about the drug smuggling the Castanas carried out for years. Prosecutors want to sentence 56 defendants to over 700 years and fine them more than €5m. They want to cage Tejon for 12 years. He continued to lead the gang from prison via one of his associates. The seizure by European cops returned €223m worth of cocaine. 13 were arrested and 8 locations were searched in Cádiz and Malaga in June which led to the seizure of 6.5 tonnes of cocaine, luxury watches and €1.5m in cash. |
 | Tejón's network was organized on two levels; a top tier which was made up of 45 people and a second level, made up of another hundred individuals, who were mainly in charge of surveillance work and moving product. The Los Castañas network had its own jetties, fleet of boats, drones to monitor the trips and security forces, as well as tractors and trucks. Tejón ran his operation from jail. Tejón returned to court just four months after being acquitted in another case, in which he was tried, along with his brother 'Isco' and fourteen others, for two shipments intercepted in 2016 in La Línea de la Concepción. |
