Early yesterday morning, dozens of agents from the Guardia Civil, the Policía Nacional and Agents of the Tax Agency were deployed in different parts of the island of Eivissa to initiate a series of searches in homes identified as possible points of reception or distribution of drugs by a major drug gang, whose members have also been investigated for some time for an alleged crime of money laundering.
The judge in charge of the operation has declared the secrecy of the proceedings, so few details of both the searches and the results have been revealed.
