Operation Falcon was coordinated by the Judicial Police, which is the authority responsible for investigating serious crimes in Portugal. The article does not provide further details on the evidence collected or on any potentially seized drugs.

Authorities continue to investigate the case to determine the extent of the drug trafficking network at the airport. So far, no further details about the operation have been released.
