The Mossos d'Esquadra and the National Police began an operation against this organization and 16 people were arrested in Catalonia, Madrid, Lugo, Toledo and Málaga. The device focused on Combat 18, a “criminal organization linked to national socialism and white supremacy”, whose objective is to violate fundamental rights and public freedoms, promoting hatred for racist and ideological reasons..

During the investigation, it has been possible to determine the degree of participation and militancy of the detained people, as well as the international relations with members of Combat 18 in other countries, both in Europe and South America..
