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

Answer

Why is it so hard to control illegal goods sent by parcel service in Mallorca?

Online sellers can also switch profiles, use private groups or move between platforms, which makes tracking harder. In Mallorca, these challenges come on top of limited police time and specialist IT resources.
