Spanish Police agents have dismantled a Chinese criminal organisation that offered hitman services, during an operation in Madrid and Valencia, which ended with the detention of 15 men and 6 women. The gang controlled the criminal activities of the entire Chinese community in Spain.


According to sources from the Spanish Ministry of Internal Affairs, the detained criminals carried out hitman services, robberies with intimidation, and controlled the criminal activities of the members of the Chinese community in Spain. The police operation had to be advanced before the possibility that the criminals executed a trader.

The police agents carried out two house searches in Madrid and one in Valencia, in which they found a gun and ammunition, knives, computers, video devices, and documents. The investigation was effected by the agents of the Homicides Group of the UDEV, in collaboration with the Judicial Police of Valencia.

The activities of the criminal organisation were carried out always after being paid by whoever contracted their services, which started at coercions and went as far as homicides. Some of their victims had spent several weeks in hospital as a consequence of the beatings.

The criminal organisation offered their services only among the Chinese community in Spain, and they were perfectly organized. Some of the members were in charge of recruiting customer and obtaining information about the identity and personal, social and working activities of the victims; while others provided the needed infrastructure such as weapons, vehicles or lodging to facilitate the work of the executing group. The executors lived aside from the organisation and their only duty was to be in the place previously agreed to commit the agressions.
