SPANISH public prosecutors have demanded a four-and-a-half year jail sentence for an Irishman who allegedly tried to steal €200,000 of cannabis he found floating in the sea off a Majorcan beach.
A pre-trial indictment drafted after the man, 24, was charged accused him of wading into the water to pick up a 31kg bundle of hash “with the intention of selling the drugs”.
He was arrested just after 3pm on October 24, 2023 along with a second Spanish suspect aged 25 at a beach called Cala Blanca near the popular holiday resort of Santa Ponsa.
