A steel door and divided roles

Prosecutors say the group sold cocaine and cannabis from the Palma premises between September 2024 and March 2025. One defendant ran the sales point, while others sold drugs, kept the money or warned the group when police were nearby.

The premises had reinforcement 40 centimetres thick and a steel door 5 centimetres thick. Inside was a system for destroying drugs if police intervened.

Drugs, cash and a second charge

Local Police searched the premises and two homes of the accused. They found cocaine, cannabis, remains of burnt drugs and cash. Prosecutors put the value of the seized drugs at about €285,000.

As well as the alleged drug dealing, the eight face a charge of belonging to a criminal organisation.
