Arrest in Mallorca: German allegedly ran 42 fake shops

Answer

Was the suspect living openly in Mallorca before the arrest?

According to investigators, the suspect lived on the island under a false name and moved inconspicuously in everyday life. People around him described him as quiet and often working on his laptop, which fits the pattern of many cybercrime suspects. Such cases show how difficult it can be to spot online offenders in normal neighbourhoods.
