Operation of the Tax Agency and National Police

• The boat, 40 meters long and valued at nearly six million euros, has been brought to judicial custody within the framework of a cooperation action originating from a tax crime in France.

August 1, 2023 .- Customs Surveillance Agents of the Tax Agency and UDYCO of the National Police have carried out an operation against money laundering in Ibiza that has led to the seizure of a 'superyacht', together with the French judicial and police authorities, within the framework of a European cooperation investigation operation against international money laundering that had its origin in an alleged tax crime committed in France.

The operation in Spain began in mid-July with judicial authorization of entries and searches in an industrial warehouse, a luxury villa for which 20,000 euros per month were paid in rent, and a 'superyacht'.

The actions, requested by the French judicial authorities, culminated in the seizure of the vessel, which was anchored in the waters of Cala Jondal (Ibiza), as well as the seizure of documentation relevant to the investigation, related to companies created for the purposes illicit.

The seized vessel, 40 meters long and valued at nearly six million euros, was seized by the 'Colimbo' patrol boat of the Customs Surveillance Service, based in Ibiza, and has already been brought to judicial custody as a result of a alleged crime of money laundering.

The investigations have been declared secret and remain open, and new actions have not been ruled out.
