When the padrón lies: Identity theft in Mallorca and the system's vulnerabilities

Answer

Why can false padrón registrations happen in Mallorca?

False padrón registrations can happen when different offices do not verify changes quickly enough or do not share information in real time. In Mallorca, that can allow an address to be changed before anyone notices, even when the person concerned never moved. Because the padrón affects access to services and benefits, the consequences can be serious.
