The long arm of the law has dealt a crushing blow to this summer’s Ibiza party scene by closing one of the island’s most popular clubs.

DC10 Circoloco has been shut down by the Spanish government on the grounds that it only served three days of a 60-day closure last year and must serve the next 57 days of the sentence to make up for it.
