Palma.—Two Guardia Civil officers have been arrested by their colleagues after they allegedly extorted 8,000 euros from a famous Saudi Prince’s secretary who wanted to fly out of the holiday island with 50,000 euros in cash.
The officers discovered the cash in the luggage of Abdullah bin Mosaad’s secretary when he was due to fly to Paris from Ibiza airport on Monday.
Mosaad is a famous Saudi Prince and leading silk paper tycoon who is currently the co-chairman of English football club Sheffield United.
He is known to spend many of his summer holidays on the Balearic island.
The Civil Guards informed Mosaad’s secretary it is illegal to travel in or out of Spain with more than €10,000 of undeclared money.
They apparently reached an ‘agreement’ with the man to let him take the money if he paid them 2,000 euros.
