Weapons by Parcel Service: Arrest in Palma Raises Questions About Control of Online Trade and Shipping

Answer

What measures could help Mallorca stop illegal weapons being shipped by parcel?

Suggested steps include better reporting channels, risk-based checks at logistics centers and faster access to platform and payment data when there is justified suspicion. The idea is not to inspect every parcel, but to focus attention where the risk is highest. For Mallorca, that also means more training and better coordination between police, carriers and online platforms.
