The gang included one Briton and two Germans, one of whom, who had previously been found to have links to right-wing extremists, was the owner of the Nazi “collection”
According to Korrespondent, Spanish police during an operation to arrest a gang involved in illegal arms trade, stumbled upon a kind of “museum of Nazism”. There were numerous items from the National Socialist era, including weapons, military uniforms, Nazi banners and decorations, as well as portraits of Hitler.
“The criminals bought deteriorated weapons in Eastern Europe and then restored them in their own workshop and sold them to drug traffickers. The investigation into the case began last year, after increasingly dangerous weapons were used in conflicts between the two rival drug cartels”, – according to the press service of the gendarmerie.
It was reported that 121 pistols, 22 rifles, 8 automatic rifles, 9,976 cartridges of different calibres, 8 silencers, 273 magazines and an anti-tank grenade loaded with 1.5 kilos of explosives were kept in an illegal armoury in Malaga.
