Reports from the Guardia Civil and the National Police indicate that the alleged criminal network headed by lawyer Gonzalo Márquez and Stefan Milojevic of the United Tribuns bikers gang purchased three hotels in order to launder profits from its drugs sales. They acquired a small chain, the Blu Hotel Group. This has a hotel in Pamplona, another hotel in Amansa (Albacete) and a hostel in Puerto Alcudia, which is in the heart of the port area and a short walk from the marina.
According to investigators, the lawyer was the mastermind behind a complex network of companies. At least seven companies were based in his office; the brother of Milojevic was the administrator - the front man - for all of them.
The parent company is called United Events S.L., which was incorporated in October 2024, also with Milojevic's brother as administrator, but Márquez became the sole administrator some months later. Other transactions related to a plot of land in Llucmajor, a car dealership in Inca and attempted purchases of restaurants. Certain arrangements with drugs clans Márquez and Milojevic were allegedly supplying didn't involve cash. For instance, a Son Banya clan paid with a Porsche Panamera.
On Tuesday, the court of instruction in Palma overseeing the investigations lifted the secrecy order. As well as the money laundering activities, the reports indicate that investigators intercepted a phone conversation between Márquez and Milojevic on August 9 this year. In this, Milojevic says he has been informed of a major police investigation into him. The former head of the National Police's Narcotics Group II, Faustino Nogales, has warned Milojevic to take extra security precautions.
All three were arrested on August 11. Subsequent police operations have led to the arrest of almost one hundred people linked to the Márquez and Milojevic network, with Márquez identified as the "true and sole mastermind". He had absolute authority to make decisions regarding the organisation's activities related to laundering money obtained from the group's primary activity - drugs.
In May this year, Márquez suggested to Milojevic that they beat up a suspected National Police collaborator. He orchestrated a scheme to incriminate a National Police chief inspector, whose investigations ultimately led to the arrests. Along with Milojevic, he allegedly built the entire criminal network, the objectives of which were to "flood the Balearic Islands with drugs" and launder the profits through a series of companies. According to investigators, Márquez and Milojevic wanted to permanently recruit individuals connected to the state security forces, the judiciary, and the media.
