Answer

What happened in the Majorca student trip fraud case?

A Spanish court upheld the conviction of a travel entrepreneur who took payments from 650 students for an organized trip to Majorca but did not arrange the promised transport and hotel bookings. The court treated the case as serious embezzlement and ordered prison time and compensation for the victims. It is a reminder that even group trips to Mallorca can go badly wrong if customer payments are not properly protected.
