Answer

What does pre-trial detention mean in a Mallorca criminal case?

Pre-trial detention means a person is held in custody while the investigation and court process continue. In Mallorca, a judge may use it when there is a serious flight risk, a danger of reoffending, or concern that the person could interfere with the case. It is not a conviction, but a temporary protective measure.
