UshuaĂŻa and Pacha Ibiza Raided by Spanish Police, Millions of Euros in Cash Found

/in /by

Pacha Ibiza

 

In the early hours of September 15th, 6:30am local time, Ibiza’s UshuaĂŻa Beach Hotel and Pacha were raided by local police as part of the ongoing operation that is looking into suspected tax fraud.

Operation Chopin launched with the raid of Amnesia earlier this summer, including the arrest of the club’s owner, his son and three other workers at the venue. The nationwide investigation continued with similar raids at Privilege and Space, all part of a total of 87 venues that are being looked into for possible tax evasion.

Spanish newspaper El Mundo stated that the Pacha and Ushuaïa were visited by police this morning, September 15th, at 6:30am and 8am respectively. Ibiza news outlet Diario De Ibiza reported that police also made a visit to the offices of Grupo Empresas Matutes (GEM), the parent company of Palladium Hotel Group that oversees Ushuaïa.

Authorities found millions in Euros in cash at both venues. It will now be up to authorities to verify if the cash was being recorded or not. A tax agent involved with the operation said: “Now we just have to verify if the amounts correspond to those declared in the companies’ accounting records.”

With Pacha now on sale for $500 million, Space Ibiza closing down, 6:30am morning curfews enforced by police and Operation Chopin in full force, many are left to wonder what is happening to Ibiza and how much the island will be changing in the coming years.

Amnesia Ibiza Raided by Local Police

Amnesia

Spanish police stormed Amnesia Ibiza and arrested the club owner.

The news was broken by Diario de Ibiza, who revealed that Spanish Guardia Civil raided the San Rafael clubbing institution arriving via helicopter at 8am local time. While reports on the exact nature of the operation are a little confusing, it appears to be a joint operation with tax authorities, drug and organized crime authorities as well as trained dogs. El Mundo asserted that this is an anti-drug sting, confirming that a total of four people have been arrested at Amnesia, including owner Martin Ferrer.

There appears to be a level of secrecy surrounding the operation, but a spokesman for the Guardia Civil in Majorca confirmed, “There is an operation in progress but the court secrecy order means we won’t be making a detailed official comment today or sending out a press release.”

UPDATE 3:51pm PST: Amnesia will be open tonight for Together.
