A man caught selling drugs in Son Banya accepted a three-year prison sentence on Wednesday, which will be replaced by a ten-year ban from Spain. The parties reached a plea agreement on Wednesday at the Second Section of the Provincial Court of the Balearic Islands, and the defendant admitted to the charges and agreed to pay a fine of €18,000. The prosecution had initially sought a four-and-a-half-year prison sentence and a €30,000 fine for the man, who was residing illegally in Spain. The events took place on September 8, 2024, in the Son Banya shantytown in Palma. The now-convicted man was caught carrying a box containing cannabis and cocaine, among other narcotics. More than €400 in banknotes and papers containing notes about drug sales were also seized.

A team of Palma City Council workers entered the Son Banya settlement on Tuesday, assisted by the National Police and the Local Police to ensure their safety, to seize six illegal buildings that violated current urban planning regulations. Furthermore, three of these dwellings turned out to be drug-dealing locations.

The judge at Palma's Investigating Court No. 7 has ordered provisional detention without bail for seven of the people arrested in the fourth phase of the operation against the money laundering and drug trafficking ring operating in Mallorca. These seven people were arrested last Wednesday and were brought before a court this Friday, along with five others who were released on bail.

The National Police and Civil Guard have arrested 17 people allegedly linked to a money laundering and drug trafficking ring operating out of Mallorca. This is the third phase of the operation, which began on August 11 and in which the alleged leader of the gang and leader of the United Tribuns, Stefan Milojevic, and National Police Inspector Faustino Nogales were arrested, according to sources close to the search.

A Binissalem resident has reported the unsafe conditions they have experienced in recent weeks on Bonaire Street, allegedly related to a drug trafficking case. The latest incident was the appearance, outside a neighbor's door, of a dead rabbit with a threatening sign that read: "Bitch Sonia, pay for the drugs." The same sign also featured, in small print, the word "kill."

The National Police are currently conducting an operation against drug trafficking in the town of Son Banya.
