It's ok they will all be released with a slapped wrist in a couple of days as usual.
Adam OstenfeldThey’ve had one for years and have been trying for years, but the people involved have huge amounts of money and powerful friends in the right places. When caught and arrested they tend to use the local jail as you and I would an AirBnb, and if things start to look serious, abscond to somewhere where they are less well known and wait it out. The far east have solutions, but currently they, unfortunately, would not be acceptable in Europe.
Zoltan TeglasMy knowledge of Son Banya is due exclusively to reading the press and online articles. It’s not a very nice place, but as the saying goes, good for business and the people living there tended to like it. Then, quite a few years ago, some bright spark in the town hall decided to offer it’s residents money and an alternative subsidised place of abode if they agreed to leave. The end result has been to spread the business all over Palma and its outlying districts, whilst maintaining, as the article suggests, Son Banya as the main distribution centre. I reckon they could teach Amazon a few tricks.
It’s about time Mallorca has a Drug & Crime Problem only way to at least make it uncomfortable for people who live from these business’s it to make it more and more complicated for them to operate I salut the Current government and Law enforcement people for all these efforts !
You negative voters just don’t get it, do you ?
Richard Pearson'And most, if not all of those arrested, will be either “Spanish' Yes they will. If you knew anything about Son Banya you would know that.
Bravo!
And most, if not all of those arrested, will be either “Spanish” or tourists who missed the flight back home. But not to worry, the local government are toughening up the law of excesses.
