19-year-old kamikaze driver detained again — what is missing to stop this happening again?

Answer

What happens in Mallorca when a driver is detained again after a fatal crash?

If police believe there is a risk of reoffending, a judge can order pre-trial detention while the case continues. In Mallorca, that usually means the person is held while investigators work through the evidence and the court reviews the file. It is a preventive step, not a final verdict.
