Police have discovered, buried beneath cement flooring in a group of shanty dwellings in the Son Banya area of Palma de Mallorca, bank notes amounting to more than 4.3 million € and 8,000 dollars. They also found seven and a half kilos of jewellery amongst the boxes found buried there.

It’s the same area where a 45 year old woman was killed in a shootout three weeks ago.

Europa Press reports this Tuesday that the swoop, after months of investigation, came on 18th September, when 100 officers, supported by a helicopter, raided the area where two drug-dealing family clans were known to be based. They seized unspecified amounts of cocaine, heroin and marijuana, and arrested one suspect.

The treasure trove was discovered in a nearby building which the drug dealers used as a garage.
