Cocaine in Wheelchairs: How the System Was Circumvented — and What's Missing

Answer

What is missing from the debate about disability and drug smuggling in Mallorca?

A major missing part is the perspective of people with disabilities, who should not be treated with suspicion because criminals misused medical aids. The discussion also needs more focus on how equipment suppliers, second-hand shops and transport services can be checked without stigmatizing legitimate users. In Mallorca, that balance is still not being discussed openly enough.
