Mallorca couple arrested in €23m-plus tax fraud case

Mallorca police arrest a man and a woman accused of defrauding German tax authorities of more than 23 million euros between 2022 and 2024. The pair were wanted under European arrest warrants. On Tuesday, officers searched a luxury villa in Calvià on Mallorca and a business in Palma, while eight more searches took place in Germany.

The Spanish National Police worked with police from the German state of Saxony. During the Mallorca searches, officers seized 13,650 euros in cash, 30 bank cards, seven mobile phones and four computers and tablets. Investigators suspect the pair used the devices to work with others in Germany.

Police blocked bank accounts linked to the arrested pair. At the request of German police, they also halted activity on accounts linked to those under investigation.
