To be fair the tip off would probably be less about them evading tax and more so about where they've hidden the money; it's very unlikely they'll have gone in in such numbers and started hacking away at walls unless they had some evidence from inside that it'd be a worthwhile job.

2 million is only 133,333 bottles of water at €15 a whip.
Say there's 130 nights a year then that's 1025 bottles a night. They sell probably twice as many bottles per night, probably more so 2 mill is pocket money for these guys!
Yes it's a slow afternoon in work......

The court blocks 16 properties of the owners of Amnesia
The ban on the sale or transfer affects homes and premises in Ibiza, Barcelona and Mallorca. It has also been seized money from the collection of the day and safety boxes
The court number Instruction 1 of Ibiza, who heads the investigation into the cause of tax evasion and money laundering against those responsible for the Amnesia club and its various related companies, has ordered a precautionary measure to block a total of 16 properties, including homes, commercial lots directly owned or indirectly the owner of the business group, Martin Ferrer Casals, in order to ensure that such goods are not removed from the action of justice and, if necessary, serve to ensure the responsibilities arising criminal proceedings.
At the request of the tax authorities, the court has asked the records corresponding Property effecting a cautionary notice of prohibition on the sale or transfer of property, nine of which have Ferrer as owner in a personal capacity, four belong to society family heritage Atlantis Barcelona (whose shares are divided almost equally between Martin Ferrer father and son), and other three are Joberan society, including land and buildings of Amnesia as well as two other houses.
embargoed money
During operation and records on Tuesday and Wednesday it was also seized the contents of safety deposit boxes that were arrested in several bank offices and whose content has not transpired. However, it is known that among the collection of disco and cash found in safe deposit boxes, researchers intervened at least two million euros.
Apparently, it is not the first time the owner of Amnesia is involved in proceedings for tax offenses, since in 2011 was indicted by an incidence of 2006 related to VAT of its holding company.
Investigations into the case continue with the same stealth with which they were generated. The agents of the Central Operations Unit and the Judicial Police of the Civil Guard police investigations Mallorca develop with virtually no agents on the island. Ibiza in the barracks have been working and accumulating documentation in an exclusive office for them in that first thing they did upon arrival was to change the lock. These precautions reflect the interest of researchers to avoid leaks that could alert the suspects and hinder their work.
The fact that the Prosecutor of Ibiza asked to held without bail for the four detainees shows that between researchers even fear that they may be destroyed or altered evidence, and to a lesser extent that any of them could escape.
So the decision of the judge on duty to enact their freedom with charges directly caused them perplexity, but confident that with all the documents seized have sufficient evidence to support its accusation of tax fraud and money laundering.

Black week for the clubs in Ibiza
The operation against Amnesia has generated outrage in several areas, including the judiciary, in particular by the difference of opinion between the prosecution and the judge on duty
Those responsible will not easily forget the week that ends today. Two nights in jail should not be the same for anyone alleged to someone used to a life of luxury and the whole world orbiting around their presence. These aristocrats of Ibizan night, who run one of the clubs most famous in the world, lived their worst nightmare when on Thursday in the office of the coroner, his wrists cuffed and more than 57 hours as detainees they heard the request of the prosecutor, "unconditional prison without bail."
Neither this has been the best week for Privilege and Space, which on Thursday saw dozens of officials from the tax authorities presented in their offices for a tax superinspección that took place in 87 clubs across the country simultaneously. An administrative matter that has nothing to do with the case of Amnesia, which already has criminal implications and whose outcome is yet to come.
On Wednesday, when those responsible for Amnesia were taken to court and the prosecutor filed his request, time froze inside the room. The defendants and their lawyers held their breath. They could not believe what they had just heard. When the prosecutor asked prison, as normal is ending up in prison, with or without bail. The time between the request of the prosecutor and the decision of the judge must have seemed an eternity to the owner of the club and his son, Martin and Marti Ferrer, his agent in many of its businesses, David Philip, and the accountant establishment, Vicente Perez de Montis. For a moment it seemed the nightmare would become reality.
It was not so. The judge issued an order of freedom with positions. The first to leave the room was the prosecutor. After the judge with two officials. All of them quite crestfallen. Then came the defendants, and without handcuffing and face exposed. Not a word. Only David Philip spoke briefly to protest what he called a "media lynching".
But there are not any four suspects, as Amnesia, even if it is only a nightclub, it is an institution on an island that is the world capital of electronic music, hippy and luxury unapologetic, and represents an element important projection'Ibiza' brand. Not for nothing is among the stars of their shows to celebrities like Paris Hilton, famous profession, whose work dj in'Foam & Diamonds' party on Saturday Amnesia, also attracts global attention on the island. With this backpack, stopping'cúpula' Amnesia had a global significance. And so it was, because media around the world echo it did.
However, De Felipe did not lack of reason to complain about the media lynching if he was referring to some important national media that rushed to publish their digital editions that the Civil Guard was developing an operation against drug trafficking in amnesia, which was not true. The reason for breaking into the club and arrests was an alleged tax evasion.
An anonymous complaint sent in 2014 to the tax inspectorate and to the Office of Balears, directed primarily against a former chief financial officer of Amnesia Ragolta group called Josep Aymar, triggered the operation. The complaint provides such detail that researchers have little doubt that the authors of it are employees of the company with access to sensitive information and that they were aware of the alleged irregularities.
A preliminary estimate of the Tax Agency estimates that in 2012 and 2013 the club could defraud 'at least' almost 5 million euros.
The operation against Amnesia has generated outrage in several areas, including the judiciary, in particular by the difference of opinion between the prosecution and the judge on duty, because while the first ordered unconditional prison, the second ordered released without bail, if While forced the four detainees to appear in court on day 1 of each month, banned from leaving the country without court permission and withdrew their passports.
The court has also blocked a total of 16 directly or indirectly Martin Ferrer property belonging so that none of these homes, premises or plots may be sold or transferred. Immobilizing court if one day justice has to draw on them to address potential liability of the defendants.
Other details of the operation against Amnesia also caused outrage in some sectors of policing, which considered inadmissible the use of a helicopter by the judicial police of the Guardia Civil de Mallorca and the Central Operating Unit (UCO) of Madrid take at full speed offices Amnesia.
It also prompted criticism that the agents of the Guardia Civil de Mallorca and Madrid put aside his fellow Ibiza during operation. Palma agents fitted out a stay in the barracks Can Sifre to store documents and money involved in Amnesia records at least two million euros that have been deposited if, like real estate, should be used to cover potential tax matters- responsibilities. The agents of the Civil Guard Mallorca changed the lock of the room to make sure no one else they could enter. That, and that the operation against those responsible for the disco was kept virtually untouched Ibiza, it has generated some distrust among some agents of Palma and Ibiza.
However, one can not ignore the fact that at least three retired officers who were part of the staff of the Civil Guard currently working Ibiza Amnesia in an absolutely legal. Apparently, they are responsible for security and cash transfers.
The operation this week against Amnesia has also reminded many people on the island that the attitude of those responsible for the club has not always lived up to the circumstances.
Amnesia for years has maintained a steady pulse with the city of Sant Antoni, often obviating closing time. Last year this conflict reached the limit. In late September and early October nightclub repeatedly violated the obligation to close at six o'clock and almost followed several days reached their activity. At least one day came to close to one o'clock, seven hours later than the time limit allowed. Sant Antoni transacted against local 31 infringement cases (16 in 2014 and 15 of 2015) that ended in penalties amounting to 102,000 euros. Much earlier, in 2005, Amnesia also broke the patience of the insular direction of the Government, then in the hands of the socialist Jose Manuel Bar. That year the club was closed by the Government Office for its "permissiveness" in selling drug.

If they were on the fiddle, they very likely had a sophisticated system for creaming a certain amount of surplus cash proceeds off the top every night, and if they did it would have to be laundered so as not to comprise part of the reported takings of the business to be of any use to anyone.
Tracing that next step is where the key to any prosecution is likely to lie and I am going to take a guess that this won't be easy. There would have to be some serious other players involved to clean up major amounts on a regular basis. Since few businesses have a 'real time' handle on their financial positions they still have a great deal of work to do if they want to use finding cash of that order of magnitude at a superclub's premises as conclusive evidence of tax fraud. It's a bit like finding large sums of cash at a casino lol.
Can't imagine the owners are going to relish having their passports seized and being on monthly bail reporting though !
