Answer

Is Mallorca becoming a hiding place for people wanted in fraud or financial cases?

Mallorca has long been attractive to people with international ties, but that does not make it a safe hiding place. Modern police cooperation, European arrest warrants, and shared data make it harder for suspects to stay hidden for long. The island’s role is more often that of a location where investigators can find evidence, assets, or contacts than a place where cases disappear.
