Arrest at Ballermann, Release in Court: What's Missing in the Case of the Alleged Rape?

Answer

After an arrest for alleged sexual assault in Mallorca, what steps happen before a court decision?

Typically, suspects are brought before an investigative judge to assess detention grounds such as flight risk and risk of tampering with evidence. The judge may either order detention or release, but a release is not an acquittal and does not resolve the case. Public details about these steps are often limited, which can fuel uncertainty.
