What a Bail Reduction Means in a Mallorca Criminal Case

A lower bail amount means the defendants have to deposit less money to remain out of pre-trial detention. In the Mallorca case linked to the Playa de Palma fire, the appeals court cut the original sum sharply after finding parts of the damage estimate insufficiently supported. It does not decide guilt or innocence, but it can affect how quickly the case moves forward and how much money is immediately tied up.
