Palma and the Extortionists: How a Phone Call Changes Lives — and What Must Happen Now

Answer

Why is it harder to investigate extortion cases linked to websites and foreign accounts?

These cases often cross borders, so police may need help from other countries to freeze accounts or trace suspects. Websites can be hosted abroad, and phone numbers can be hidden or faked, which makes the technical trail harder to follow. That is why international cooperation matters so much in Mallorca cases like these.
