Three people—two women and a man—were taken into custody by the National Police in Elche on charges of selling illegal drugs from a business and abusing employees without a contract.
Spanish nationals who were arrested oversaw three companies in the municipality, one of which was shut down during the inquiry for irregular operations.
The National Police Corps claims that the inquiry started when the Elche Police Station learnt of evidence suggesting that there were employees operating in two particular establishments without a contract and in an unlawful manner.
The complaint claims that some of the employees who worked weekends and nights were paid five euros per hour. They also experienced issues being paid.
The same individuals who owned the first two establishments may also be selling illegal drugs, according to information the National Police received.
None of the employees employed by the individuals under investigation had Social Security registrations.
However, 120 marijuana packages and 25 hashish packages were found in one of the searched locations. At the time of the inspection, a portion of this material was on display in the institution alongside other food and sweet items, seeming to be different kinds of candy.
