Answer

What is the difference between deportation and criminal punishment in Mallorca?

Deportation is an administrative measure that removes a person from the country, while criminal punishment comes through the courts after an अपराध or conviction. In Mallorca, both can apply to the same person, but they serve different legal purposes. Deportation can end a person’s stay on the island, yet it does not replace the need to prosecute crimes properly.
