Answer

What does a bail release mean under Spanish law in Mallorca cases?

A bail release means a judge allows a suspect to leave pre-trial custody after payment of a set amount, while the investigation continues. In Mallorca, as elsewhere in Spain, that does not mean the case is over or that the person has been cleared of any charges.
