Transmits to UNN with reference to Europol, Bild and Crime Intel.
Tania Gomez has been on the run since March 2021. According to the German newspaper Bild, before becoming a real cocaine queen, she was an Instagram model.
She also worked for a dog rescue organization, but in reality she was laundering money.
The Swedish woman is said to have set up a dog rescue network as a front and advertised it on social media.
She is suspected of international drug trafficking - tens of kilograms of cocaine and cannabis - and money laundering in the amount of approximately 17 million euros.
Tania Gomez is said to have been illegally trafficking animals and transporting them across Europe.
Despite her image as a caring animal lover and owner of the dog rescue charity HundGarin, Europol links her to a network involved in the illegal possession and transportation of animals. Swedish authorities are seeking a 14-year prison sentence for her crimes.
Spanish police have received information about Gomez's hiding place in recent weeks. The woman is now in custody awaiting extradition to Sweden.
