]]>This upward trend was particularly marked in the municipality of Sant Antoni, where drug-related crimes tripled, according to data published by the central government’s Ministry of the Interior.
The report, which includes criminal offenses recorded in towns with more than 20,000 inhabitants, places Sant Antoni as the Ibizan municipality with the highest increase in crime, with 15.2% more crimes than in 2024.
On the other hand, the municipality of Vila managed to slightly reduce its figures, registering a decrease of 1.9%.
Of the more than 10,600 criminal offenses registered in Ibiza up to September, 332 correspond to drug trafficking, compared to 237 the previous year.
This figure represents an increase of 40.1% and confirms the growing pressure of the State Security Forces and Corps on the networks linked to the sale and distribution of narcotic substances.
The epicenter of this phenomenon is located in Sant Antoni. In this tourist municipality, the number of drug trafficking cases rose from 46 to 121 in a single year, an increase of 163%.
Significant increases in this type of crime were also detected in Sant Josep (+46.7%) and Santa Eulària (+92.9%).
In addition to drug trafficking, the crime balance shows an upturn in serious and less serious crimes of injury and tumultuous quarrels, which grew by 6.6% in the island as a whole.
These types of infractions doubled in Sant Antoni, where they went from 34 to 71 cases, while in Ibiza town they remained stable.
Another area showing a growing trend is cybercrime. Computer scams increased by 8.8% on the island, with a total of 1,231 complaints registered, representing more than 11% of total island crime.
In Santa Eulària (+22.9%) and Sant Antoni (+28.7%) this type of crime grew above average.
Robberies with violence and intimidation also rose by 10.6%, while thefts increased by 2.6% in the island as a whole, with more than 2,800 cases recorded.
In contrast, there was a significant drop in several indicators. Crimes against sexual freedom fell by 17.7% across the island, with the sharpest declines in Sant Antoni (-35%) and Sant Josep (-37.9%).
There was also a decrease in burglaries in homes and establishments, with a reduction of 17.5% at the island level and up to 65% less in Santa Eulària.
Other crimes with a downward trend were vehicle thefts (-18.9%) and kidnappings, of which none were recorded in 2025.
Of the four municipalities analyzed (Sant Joan is not included in the statistics as it does not reach the threshold of 20,000 inhabitants), only Ibiza town managed to contain crime, with a slight decrease of 1.9%.
The total number of offenses decreased from 3,549 in 2024 to 3,483 in 2025. During this period, burglary (-28.6 %), vehicle theft (-20.4 %) and sexual assault (-33.3 %) decreased, while theft and cybercrime increased.
In contrast, Santa Eulària (+3.3%) and Sant Josep (+4.7%) experienced moderate increases, and Sant Antoni was consolidated as the municipality with the most worrying upturn, largely driven by the increase in drug trafficking.
According to data collected by the Ministry of the Interior from reports by the Civil Guard, the National Police and the various local forces, there were no intentional homicides or completed murders in 2025 .
However, there were 7 «attempted» cases, i.e., attempted murders.

]]>The investigation began in July 2023, when the specialized drug trafficking unit detected the activity of a criminal group operating in Murcia and using significant security measures to avoid detection. The group was led by a ringleader, who had a trusted team and a network of collaborators in charge of specific functions such as security, transportation of substances and preparation of vehicles with double bottoms.
The arrest operation began on January 16 in the Torre Pacheco district of Roldán, Murcia, when two of the main suspects were about to carry out a cocaine transaction. At that moment, one of the suspects opened fire on the agents with a firearm, although no one was injured. Following the arrests, the police carried out five house searches in Cartagena, Torre Pacheco and Aguilas, where cocaine was seized:
Following the operation in Murcia, the ringleader of the group managed to flee to Palma de Mallorca, where he was finally located and arrested. Eleven of the detainees have been remanded in custody, while all of them have been brought before the courts. This operation has made it possible to completely dismantle the network and prevent the distribution of a large quantity of narcotic substances.
