After the police raids in Ibiza earlier this year it looks like it has continued with two raids this morning 6:30 AM local time. Ibiza’s Pacha and Ushuaia were raided by spanish police as part of the ongoing operation that is looking into suspected tax fraud.

The two famous nightclubs are being investigated as part of the ongoing ‘Operation Chopin’, which already raided Ibiza’s clubs like Space, Amnesia and Privilege. Amnesia’s owner Martin Ferrer was arrested in July, following a 17-hour raid in which the police recovered a reported €2 million in cash.

The Ibiza offices of Grupo Empresas Matutes (GEM) are also said to have also been hit. They are the parent company of Palladium Hotel Group, which oversees Ushuaia.

Pacha has released a statement regarding the current investigation:

“…the company has always cooperated with the authorities and has offered all of the help necessary to facilitate their work…[we have] met all of the legal financial and tax requirements for all of the markets in which [Pacha] operates.”

DJ handed two life sentences in prison for possession of Ecstasy

A 26 year old DJ caught with 61 ecstasy pills has failed to have two life jail sentences reduced after losing an appeal in a Thai court.

Jake Mastroianni, the 26-year-old Australian DJ known by stage name “Badmouth” and his British friend Lance Whitmore, failed on appeal to have their sentences reduced.

Jake was convicted and has two life sentences for carrying 61 ecstasy pills, while his friend Lance, who was found with 200 pills, has a 50 year sentence. Mastroianni faces a heavier sentence because he did not plead guilty to the charges under the advisement of lawyers, but Whitemore did leading to a shorter sentence.

According to the Guardian, Mastroianni could qualify for a prison transfer application to Australia in six years. Whitmore could apply for transfer in his home country after four years due to his lighter sentence. Although, applications are not guaranteed to be successful.

Mastroianni was known DJ having residencies at Club Pattaya and clubs on Koh Phangan where the full party is held. The Sapphire club in Pattaya’s Walking Street announced in May 2014 that Badmouth would make his final appearance as guest DJ before he returned to live in Australia. He was arrested in three months later.
