Spain's Ministry of Health, through the DGPNSD - a government-run group coordinating state action against illegal drugs - has ordered the public auction of more than 100 vehicles from illicit drug trafficking and related crimes, the proceeds of which will be used for drug prevention work. Of those 100, some 56 of them are from Andalucía (33 from Malaga province, 19 from Jaen and four from Almeria).

The DGPNSD manages the Fondo de Bienes Decomisados fund comprising of assets confiscated from convicted criminals for illicit drug trafficking and other related crimes, which is regulated by Law 17/2003 of 29 May and is made up of goods, effects and instruments confiscated by final judgement in proceedings for drug trafficking and other related crimes.

They will be put up for sale at 12 different events that are being opened up for public auction, all done online through the specialist Escrapalia portal. Anyone can participate in the bidding provided they do so in accordance with the auction specifications. So far 68 vehicles have been auctioned.
