Answer

What happens after someone is arrested in Mallorca over an unpaid hotel bill?

If the Guardia Civil detains someone in Mallorca over a hotel complaint, the person is usually taken before a judge fairly quickly. The judge then decides whether to release them, impose conditions, or continue the case. In the Santa Ponsa case, the person was released the same day after appearing before a judge.
