The 33-year-old detainee was part of a passage of about 30 people who were flying in a private jet from Las Vegas and who landed before 03:00 this Friday.

Quote:

The detainee, of dual Italian-Kuwaiti nationality, was transferred to the Civil Guard before being brought to justice.

Rough translation of what was siezed using Google Translate;

Specifically, 315 grams of cocaine, 171 grams of CB, 705 grams of hashish, 80 grams of crystal, as well as other similar amounts of marijuana, speed, ecstasy, hallucinogenic mushrooms, Popper, LSD and other substances to be determined were seized.

Sounds like one helluva of a party kit, or they were distributing at rave/nightclub. Either way, no bueno.

Ibizi is part of Spain, so I guess he won't get shot. It sounds like maybe trafficking stuff from Latin America to Europe, but the amount are probably too small for that.

Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.

Considering the geographical location it does seem odd to smuggle drugs from vegas to Ibiza. But maybe spain has the mediterranean all locked down or something I dunno. Just feels like there should be easier ways lol

Also pretty wild that he seems to have been firing 10k and 25k's for a decade and now does this

If i would be police i would never expect that a guy who looks like him could have drugs in his luggage. Never. I wonder how they spot him.

Never heard of this guy.

Me thinks the term “famous” was used a bit too loosely here.

I've always heard rumors of the infamous "Pill Ivey" - guy who travels the high roller circuit with any and all party favors one could imagine but to actually see the details and how much he was carrying is pretty insane.

Not saying I disagree with it being wild, but how's THAT the part that makes it exactly that? Wouldn't you think that this particular demographic has a higher likelyhood of either taking relatively bigger risks and/or having the connections to do something like this?
