Authorities in Sant Antoni de Portmany, Ibiza, have conducted inspections of approximately 60 properties to investigate habitability and occupancy conditions. The operation, involving the Balearic Government's housing inspection service, local police, and the Civil Guard, revealed several instances of extreme overcrowding.
In one commercial premises on Doctor Fleming Avenue, agents discovered approximately 70 bunk beds being used by between 20 and 30 people. Residents reported paying an average of 300 euros per month for accommodation.
Additionally, inspections of four residences on Sant Antoni Street revealed a total of between 120 and 130 bunk beds across the building. Other inspected locations were also found to be used as sleeping quarters. Collected documentation has been transferred to relevant services to determine potential sanctions regarding housing and habitability regulations.
