A 22 year old man was detained by the Guardia Civil in Santa Eulalia this week for passing forged €50 notes in at least 7 establishments.
It seems that there has been a spate of these bills being used in the Santa Eulalia area recently, and whilst the Guardia describe the forgeries as 'good quality' they are still quite easily detectable because of the difference in the paper, filament, and right margin on the note.
What is now concerning the authorities is the origin of the fakes, and no doubt the young man in custody will be asked to help out in this respect.
