Judge Orders Pretrial Detention for Los Orta Leader and Eight Others After Mallorca Raids

Investigators link the group to a Europe-wide supply chain tied to a 675‑kilo cocaine seizure.

Overview

  • Police arrested 13 suspects and carried out 18 home searches across Palma, Manacor, Marratxí, Llucmajor, Cala Rajada and Son Servera in the latest phase of Operación Enroque Bal/Manso.
  • Agents seized various quantities of drugs and cash during the raids, and the case remains under court secrecy.
  • The detainees appeared before a Palma investigating court on Friday, with defendants responding only to questions from their lawyers.
  • Case files and seized ledgers indicate Ramón Orta obtained about 48 kilos of cocaine for €1.24 million, and prior August searches uncovered 11 kilos of cocaine, weapons and €1.261 million in Binissalem.
  • The probe centers on an alleged network led by Stefan Milojevic and lawyer Gonzalo Márquez, already in pretrial detention, which investigators say operates across Europe and is connected to the 675‑kilo shipment intercepted in Valencia.
