Answer

Can money laundering affect everyday life in Palma neighbourhoods?

Yes. When criminal money enters local commerce, it can distort rents, property prices and competition for legitimate businesses. Residents may not see the financial side directly, but they can feel the effects in shops, workshops and housing costs. Over time, that can change the character of a neighbourhood and make trust harder to rebuild.
