Eight arrested in Mallorca on drug and prostitution charges

Eight people have been arrested by National Police in Mallorca for drug offences and prostituting several women. It seems the gang introduced the girls to drugs to create an addiction and then forced them to prostitute themselves, sometimes without condoms, to get their drugs. The women hid their situation from their families out of fear of revenge. Those arrested, some of them aged over 60, have been ordered to prison by Instruction Court Six in Palma. They face charges of drug trafficking, sexual abuse and corruption of minors. Several youngsters were released during the police operation. Three properties in Palma have been searched and a video camera and porn films have been found, with 3,000 € cash, more than 600 grams of cocaine, 1 kilos of substances to cut the drug and other items for its mixing and sale. The investigation started after the death of a 16 year old adolescent in Palma de Mallorca from a cocaine overdose eight years ago. It continues open and more arrests have not been ruled out.
