The searching of the three safety boxes ended at 3pm in the attendance of the defence lawyers.
The searches realised in the morning amid high security from the Guardia Civil who closed the branches and guarded the entrance with two armed agents, much to the curiosity of passersby.
The searches were framed in the case which continues in Instruction Court 1 in Ibiza against the owner of the nightclub, Martín Ferrer, his son, a manager from the club and the venue’s accountant for the alleged crime of tax evasion and money laundering.
The four were detained at the start of July, after an operation organised by the Central Operative Unit of the Guardia Civil and Treasury technicians, which searched the venue and their homes.
