Deportation after years of cat-and-mouse game: What the police accomplished - and what is missing

Answer

How can someone be deported from Mallorca after years of police checks?

Deportation can take time because authorities need a legally solid case, especially when a person has moved often or has a long criminal record. In Mallorca, the arrest only happened once police had enough evidence to act decisively. The case shows that enforcement can work, but often only after a lengthy process.
