The National Police arrested two leaders of a clan of drug sellers in the La Soledad neighborhood, in Palma, for buy a chalet in Marratxí with money from drug trafficking. It concerns a man and a woman who were already in prison for drug trafficking.
The woman ran a family drug control business in the Palma neighborhood of La Soledad. For his part, the man had built a public image as a respectable member of the community by participating in associative and commercial activities.
This drug sales point was dismantled last year in a successful operation carried out by the UDYCO of the National Police, with the hearing of the statements of the two people considered to be the main architects of the operation.
The agents attribute to the detainee having orchestrated, with close friends, detained during the first phase of this operation, a stratagem aimed at simulating a legitimate purchase this would allow them to enjoy a luxury chalet.
To do this, the accused would have acquired a winning lottery ticket and recruited a front man to collect the prize and use it to purchase the cottage with seemingly legitimate money. However, they had a payment problem, because the prize they managed to acquire was one of those that consisted of the payment of the 10% per year for ten years.
Not having all the money needed for the operation on hand, they tried to convince the leader to obtain a advance from your bankit is not by chance the same one where the sellers of the villa had accounts, and the money they had hidden in a bank account abroad was discovered.
The other arrested person allegedly negotiated the transaction with the buyers, making it easier for them to launder their illicit funds in exchange for a bounty paid with dirty money.
The accusation of the person investigated was obtained after investigations which made it possible to prove that the person who had pulled the strings from the start was him, since he does not appear in any document relating to the chalet, registered in the name of relatives . .
With the statements of these two suspects heard, the police concluded the investigation, leaving the Palma investigating court, which is leading the investigation, to close the proceedings with a view to their subsequent trial. This court, at the request of investigators, keeps the chalet and four other properties, three cars and numerous bank accounts seized.
