Among the confiscated items are 1,574 ancient coins, amphorae, unguent jars, lamps, jugs, jewelry, sculptures, and swords. The investigation began in October 2024, when an elderly woman was stopped at Palma airport carrying approximately 50 coins dating from the Greek era to the Middle Ages. Her cooperative attitude allowed officers to locate the rest of the collection at her residence in Cales de Mallorca (Manacor). </p>]]></description>

According to the study, based on data from 2012 to 2019, 72% of tenders under the jurisdiction of the central government were awarded by bodies headquartered in the Community of Madrid, which managed 87% of the resources. The analysis, conducted by the Valencian Institute of Economic Studies and presented this December as part of the "Catalan Countries, Plundered Countries" campaign, also points out that 60% of the contracts went to Madrid-based companies. These firms accounted for 65% of the total economic volume, even though Madrid represents only 19.5% of the national GDP.</p>]]></description>
