In a significant crackdown on drug trafficking and money laundering in Mallorca, the Civil Guard and local police have arrested Faustino Nogales, the former head of the Drugs Group of the National Police in the Balearic Islands. His detention occurred on Monday during a large-scale operation targeting criminal activities linked to the narcotics trade. Following Nogales’s arrest, a search of his residence took place the following day.

The operation has resulted in the apprehension of ten additional suspects, who face charges related to money laundering, drug trafficking, and membership of a criminal organisation. Notable among those arrested are Ignacio Gonzalo Márquez, a lawyer apprehended at his office in central Palma, and Milojevic, the leader of the United Tribuns gang, who has a prior conviction for criminal organisation, public health offences, document forgery, and assault.

This ongoing investigation, currently conducted under a judicial secrecy order, began on Monday and is directed by the Investigating Court Number Seven in Palma. Its main objective is to dismantle the financial networks associated with drug trafficking activities in the region.

The authorities remain focused on dismantling these networks to ensure a safer environment for residents and visitors in Mallorca, and they are expected to pursue further arrests as the investigation unfolds.
