Answer

What role do consulates play if someone is detained after a Mallorca trip?

Consulates can help travellers and relatives understand what is happening and what rights they have. They may also provide practical guidance in the local language or direct people to legal support. In cross-border cases, that support can be especially important because the arrest and the legal process often happen in different countries.
