Bail reduced – what the decision means for victims, defendants and Mallorca
Why the Palma Appeals Court Lowered the Bail
The court reduced bail after finding the damage and loss estimates were not well enough supported.
Published: April 23, 2026
Answer
Why did the court in Palma lower the bail so much?
The court apparently considered the original estimate of damage and lost income too weakly documented. Instead of accepting broad figures, the judges wanted concrete evidence for the amount claimed. That led to a major reduction and a partial refund of the sum that had already been set aside.
