surrounded by people who have been doing it for years. 224 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,040 In a bar, where the owner knows what's going on 225 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,040 it seemed very normal. 226 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,560 And people started to like me 227 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,480 because I was doing it with that girl. 228 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,320 It was as if I had suddenly

--> 00:15:19,200 It didn't look like you were doing anything wrong 232 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,680 because everyone was involved. 233 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:27,120 But obviously now I realize that was probably stupid. 234 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:37,480 I finished my training into the police force in 1989. 235 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:42,200 My first post was in San Antonio, Ibiza. 236 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:47,080 PABLO ANTUÑA DIEZ POLICEMAN 237 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:52,960 When I was free, I would go in the clubs that were at that time. 238 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:55,640 To dance and have a

00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,160 but on a very small scale. 243 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,160 I remember one of my first arrests. 244 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,800 I stopped a boy with two pills. 245 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:17,720 Just two pills. 246 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,800 Personally, I never imagined 247 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,000 that it will take such a scale. 248 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,720 It was a blast which surprised everyone. 249 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:33,640 you are never ready 250 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:35,720 because you don't know what will happen. 251 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,320 Drug traffickers always set the pace, 252 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,560 and we always try to keep up. 253 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:48,440 You can never be prepared when you don't know what will happen. 254 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:58,160 Most pills that I received them originally they were from Holland, 255 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,680 because from there the best pills are coming. 256 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,400 And every day they came flower trucks from the Netherlands. 257 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,680 Ecstasy pills were among the flowers. 258 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,240 There were probably about 30,000 of pills in a flower box. 259 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,480 Which were reaching the market. 260 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:23,040 There were some people called "spies", who were paid to search 261 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,640 boxes marked in a certain way. 262 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:33,320 I'm good at logistics and that was my job to solve with the transport. 263 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,560 If someone moves to the island and you knew the moving company, 264 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,800 you were trying to buy space in the truck 265 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,440 and to put, to "throw" a package there. 266 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,000 But everyone has their own methods. 267 00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:48,640 BREAKFAST 268 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,040

00:18:00,600 Ecstasy was put in containers 272 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,760 with ham and sausages and was imported to the island. 273 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,160 It was on a grand scale. 274 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:16,960 It's funny how inventive people are. 275 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:22,160 Hiding drugs in tow trucks, in vehicles with false bottoms. 276 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,240 I found it practically everywhere. 277 00:18:25,360 --> 00:18:27,960 Even in gas tanks. 278 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:34,800 Or hide them in the body, 279 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,000 swallowing them. 280 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,360 It's their job and they do it well. 281 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,560 At first, it started like anything else. 282 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,840 Little by little, increasing little by little. 283 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,560 One year I had something, the next year more and more. 284 00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:00,320 Since the 90s, Ibiza has transcended tourist records every year. 285 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:02,680 The more tourists you have, 286 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,560 the more drugs are consumed. 287 00:19:07,120 --> 00:19:09,760 If it's a plane going to Ibiza, 288 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,520 I guarantee they are 10 passengers carrying ecstasy. 289 00:19:15,360 --> 00:19:17,320 5000 pills per person, 290 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,120 that is 50,000 pills who arrive by plane. 291 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:26,760 Nothing compares to the kind in which he helped the island to develop. 292 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:32,080 People could spend more, and the clubs were open more 293 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,760 and they sold more alcohol. 294 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,240 It was an evolution, 295 00:19:36,360 --> 00:19:39,480 and everything from an ecstasy pill. 296 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,560 For me, it's Ibiza a land of inconsistencies. 297 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,000 I loved it when I was a kid. 298 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,960 When I returned as a rookie reporter, 299 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,560 it was no longer the relaxed place of childhood. 300 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,880 It had become a party island. 301 00:20:08,040 -->

they wanted to take advantage of it. 310 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:42,400 The criminals understood that the mass production of ecstasy 311 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,120 in pill form was an occasion to
