Spanish police use AI to visualise disguises for one of the most wanted drug traffickers in Europe

Spanish police visualize disguises for a drug trafficker who is one of Europe’s most wanted.

The Spanish police are using artificial intelligence to help them imagine the faces of one Europe’s most wanted drug dealers as their search intensifies.

Unveiled on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday morning, the images depict drug lord Sergio Jesus Mora Carrasco in a series of striking disguises – sporting long and short hair, with and without a beard, and even switching between wearing spectacles or none at all.

The post further brands Carrasco as ‘overweight,’ standing at 172 centimetres tall, with a fair complexion, and brown hair and eyes.

Carrasco has been on the run since 2018 after slipping through the net of a major police operation – vanishing without a trace and landing himself on Spain’s most-wanted list.

Since then, the elusive fugitive has managed to stay one step ahead of authorities, with investigators warning he could be anywhere — in Spain or beyond — as the high-stakes manhunt stretches into yet another year.

Known in underworld circles as ‘El Yeyo,’ he stands accused of masterminding major drug trafficking operations and laundering vast sums of illicit cash.

Investigators have linked him with large-scale shipments of hashish that were ferried by high-speed boat across Spain’s Southern coast.

Authorities believe that he rose from piloting speedboats for narcos to become one of Europe’s most powerful traffickers, building an expansive criminal empire near key smuggling route near the Guadalquivir River and Campo de Gibraltar.
