Marratxí, a municipality east of Palma, and another in a town in es Raiguer, the
district around the town of Inca.[1]An investigating court in Palma declared

companies and kept them at home for sale through others in the network.[1]
In the Marratxí search, police found a large quantity of hashish in a chest
freezer and an air rifle.[1]A woman was arrested there over her alleged link
to the criminal organisation and was released at the police station hours later.[1]Two more people were arrested the same day, and all the suspects are
