Answer

What happens after an arrest in Mallorca on a European warrant?

After an arrest, the person is usually brought before Spanish authorities and may be placed in pre-trial detention. The courts then examine the extradition request and decide which country should take over the case. The process can take time because judges must balance international cooperation with due process.
