THE SAGA OF DC10 GOES ON Having already been closed at the start of the season in 2008 and
subsequently back in business since August, the precedent of rolling
penalties against the club now seems a clear tactic. Furthermore,
confusingly, the judicial process is so slow, that this particular
sanction actually relates to proceedings that began in 2007 and once
again concern the 65 person capacity that DC10 has so frequently
exceeded.
In local press and radio stations in Ibiza, reports
have explained how DC10 appealed the decision but the Judge refused to
retract after balancing the financial interests of DC10 with the
obvious discrepancy in the number of people allowed in, and actually
attending, the club. In black and white like that, the home of
Circoloco had no chance.
A year long closure from October
would see DC10 shut for the 2009 season. However much people enjoyed
the last 2 months at Circo Loco, but those events have now provided the
ammunition for further proceedings to be brought against the club
before the 2010 season. If anyone was unsure, it is clear that the
authorities will not stop until DC10 ceases to be. The solution of a
licence being granted to the club is the logical solution but it will
never happen.
