Answer

Can unpaid fines cause problems at airports when flying back from Mallorca?

Yes. Airports can be a place where identity checks quickly reveal outstanding fines or enforcement warrants, especially during routine data checks. If a fine has not been settled, the result can be a delay, a payment request, or in some cases short custody.
