A man has been sentenced to six months in prison for an offence related to narcotic substances. The facts occurred when the accused was caught acquiring drugs that he was subsequently due to receive in the locality of Santandria, located on the island of Menorca.

The defendant was arrested at the moment of purchase, before he could transport the merchandise to its final destination. The operation is part of the routine checks that security forces carry out in the area to combat drug trafficking and consumption in the Balearic archipelago.

The sentence imposed by the court amounts to six months of deprivation of liberty, a penalty that falls at the lower limit of the legal framework for this type of offence. The case highlights the surveillance work that is maintained at the points of entry and distribution of narcotic substances on the islands.
