The National Police are pretty certain that the brutal beating given to a man on the Calle Manacor in Palma towards the end of last month was a settling of scores related to the sale of drugs.

Two men, a 19-year-old Spaniard and a 27-year-old South American, are under investigation. The police have still to totally clarify the reason for the assault, but everything points to there having been unpaid debts from drugs' sales.
