Ten Suspects from Raid Against Forced Prostitution in Court: A Reality Check for Palma

Answer

Why can forced prostitution stay hidden for so long in Palma and Mallorca?

These networks often rely on secrecy, vulnerable people, and places that are hard to monitor, such as apartments or small commercial units. In Mallorca, the mix of tourism, short-term rentals and anonymous urban spaces can make it easier for criminal activity to remain unnoticed. Victims may also be afraid to speak up because they fear retaliation or do not know where to ask for help.
