Answer

Can someone be arrested and then released after a stalking investigation in Mallorca?

Yes. In Spain, an arrest does not mean a conviction, and a person can be released under conditions while an investigation continues. In the Pere Garau case, the suspect was reportedly released with a ban on approaching the girl, which is a precaution while legal proceedings move forward.
