Answer

How can Mallorca’s real estate market be affected by a corruption or laundering probe?

A serious investigation can make buyers, sellers and intermediaries more cautious, which often slows transactions. Banks and notaries may ask for more proof of where money comes from, and some deals can take longer to complete. Over time, though, stricter controls may also make the market more transparent and trustworthy.
