Palma forged-passport arrests and border checks

By October, Palma airport had checked around six million passengers and arrested 87 people traveling with forged passports. The figures show a sustained focus on international connections, with intensified checks on routes from the UK, Ireland, the USA and other regions. The introduction of the European Entry/Exit System is part of the effort, but technology alone isn’t a cure; effective border control also depends on trained staff, cooperation, and ongoing investigations.
