Trial over tortoise breeding in Llucmajor: Who benefits from the illegal trade?

Answer

Are there tax issues linked to illegal animal sales in Mallorca?

Yes. If animals are sold for profit, the income should be declared for tax purposes, and concealed revenue can point to wider illegal activity. In cases like the one in Llucmajor, tax offences can make the trade harder to trace and easier to continue.
