Mallorca drug case: seven accept jail before trial

Mallorca drug case: seven of eight defendants accept prison terms of one to six years before a hearing in Palma, Mallorca, on Thursday, 12 November. They admit the allegations in a deal with prosecutors. Only the eighth defendant now faces trial before the Second Chamber of the Provincial Court of the Balearic Islands.

A Palma sales point

Before the deals, prosecutors had sought a combined 78 years in prison and fines totalling €2.2 million for the eight. They accused them of drug trafficking and belonging to a criminal organisation.

According to the prosecution, the group sold mainly cocaine and cannabis between September 2024 and March 2025, using premises in Palma as a sales point. Some sold the drugs, one held the money and others warned the group when police were nearby.

Steel door and seized drugs

The premises had 40-centimetre-thick reinforcement and a 5-centimetre steel door. Inside was a system designed to destroy drugs if police raided the property.

Local Police officers searched the premises and two homes belonging to the defendants. They found cocaine, cannabis, remains of burned drugs and cash. The seized drugs were worth about €285,000.
