MALLORCA TODAY - More on the butane scam arrests

The Guardia Civil has today released further information regarding its investigation into fraudulent butane-gas inspections that have been perpetrated across the island. Eleven people have been arrested, with 50,000 euros said to have been defrauded, and the company under investigation has been named as Tiansol System S.L. The company was apparently formed in September last year. This may suggest that it, or those involved with it, was potentially a new player on the butane-scam scene, and that other organisations who carry out this scam are still knocking around. While the Guardia's intervention is to be applauded, it may be that wariness still needs to be applied in case other similar, fraudulent businesses are operating.
