Emergency Landing at Son Sant Joan: Questions Over Arrests and Procedures

Answer

What happens after a judge reviews a detention case at Palma airport?

After a judge reviews the case, the detained people can be released, kept in custody, or made subject to further legal steps. In the Mallorca airport case, some passengers were released after appearing before the duty judge, while others were expected to leave Spain or remain temporarily. The judge’s review is an important checkpoint between police action and any longer legal process.
