May 19, 1955 - Francisca Cortés Picazo
As the matriarch of a family-based drug operation, she built and sustained a heroin and cocaine distribution network centered in Son Banya, a Romani neighborhood in Majorca, for years before her arrest. The clan structure she led made the organization both resilient and deeply embedded in the community. Operation Kabul, which resulted in her arrest alongside nineteen others in 2008, reflected the scale of coordinated effort required to dismantle it.
