Alleged Contract Killing from Sa Torre to Cologne: What the Extradition of a Resident Really Means

Answer

Why would a court in Palma send a suspect from Mallorca to Germany?

A court in Palma may approve transfer if it considers Germany the more suitable place for the main proceedings. That can happen when most of the alleged planning, contacts or consequences are linked to Germany rather than Mallorca. The defense can challenge that decision, but the final question is usually where the strongest jurisdiction lies.
