Answer

How can someone be arrested at a European airport after flying from Mallorca?

A person can be flagged by international police databases such as the Schengen Information System or an Interpol notice. If a match appears during passport control or another check, police may detain the traveller and verify the identity before any further steps are taken. In Mallorca-related cases, the arrest usually happens outside Spain, once the person has already left the island.
