The woman went to the man’s home in Palma on 19 November 2019 to buy cocaine, according to the prosecution. The indictment does not say whether he gave her any. Prosecutors say he offered her a marijuana joint and a drink, then put an unspecified substance in the drink so she would lose consciousness.

They are seeking 13 years and six months in prison and 100,000 euros in compensation for the woman.
