Two agents from the Igualada Local Police have been decorated in Madrid with the Order of Police Merit for their collaboration in an international operation against migrant trafficking.

The Mayor of Igualada, Marc Castells, and the Councilor for Governance, Carlota Carner, officially congratulated the two decorated agents this Wednesday. The recognition, awarded by the General Directorate of Police, was celebrated last Friday, October 16th, in the Spanish capital.
This distinction rewards the fulfillment of duties, commitment to public service, and the vocation for inter-institutional cooperation. The agents actively participated in a joint operation between the National Police and Europol that led to the arrest of several individuals involved in migrant trafficking networks.
