In a recent undercover documentary the BBC gave the Ibiza customs service a right bashing claiming that they hadn't caught any drug smugglers and that they all, as a man, went on holiday in August, leaving the service inoperative. Ibiza newspapers immediately published photos of a massive haul of hashish that the customs men had confiscated in August.
This week an investigation which started last year when a 2,100 load of hash was confiscated from a lorry on a ferry ended with the detention of a man in San Antonio. He was in possession of 230 kilos of hash and loads of equipment which is normally used for the commercial sale of the drug. The man claimed that all 230 kilos were for personal use and no doubt we'll be seeing him at San Antonio's annual kite flying day on Sunday where he probably won't need a kite!
