Los Charlines (Galician: Os Charlíns) is the name by which one of the most important drug trafficking clans in Galicia is known, together with the Oubiña and the Miñanco.
[3] In the early 1990s the business was divided into two gangs: on the one hand, the clans in favor of continuing with tobacco and hashish, and on the other, those who they switched to cocaine trafficking.
The Audiencia Nacional sentenced the Charlin couple and all their children to 104 years in prison for laundering money obtained with drugs.
Three years later the Supreme Court partially overturned the ruling, lowering Manuel Charlín's sentence and absolving his daughter Teresa of him.
On 10 August 2018, Judge Juan Carlos Carballal of the Court of Instruction number 4 of Vigo released the Charlines and fourteen other detainees in the anti-drug operation.
