No prison after brutal attack: What the settlement means for Mallorca and the victims

Answer

Can an assault case in Mallorca end without prison if compensation is paid?

Yes, some assault cases can end with a financial settlement if the prosecution, defence, and court agree to it. In the Mallorca case described, the payment was meant to cover pain and suffering as well as legal costs. Whether that outcome feels appropriate is a separate public debate.
