Sad situation in Palma as it seems there is little or really no risk to these people going to jail and the lack of transparency regarding the situation is not helping the truth is the Jail in Palma is Full and has been for some time that is why these repeat offenders are immediately released back to the streets no police or Justice wants to handle these cases !
So this piece of trash criminal from Mali lives in a shelter but Brits staying at friends on holiday have to get a letter from the police 🤷♂️ Unbelievable
"He was arrested last week for breaking and entering." Doesn't that tell you everything? He's already on bail for a criminal offence and still he commits another offence. These thieves have nothing to lose and the punishments have to be more severe. They arrive on the island with nothing and nowhere to live or reside. A night in a prison cell is no disincentive. Quite the reverse, it's probably the only place in his situation where he can get a safe night's sleep. There are jobs on the island and some pay cash in hand but this guy wants the easy route. If he's deported who pays for the flight or the sail? If he's sent to prison, the Spanish tax payer has to support him via taxes for the duration. As it is, he'll be back on the streets soon enough and up to his old thieving ways. And someone's life will be disrupted or holiday ruined. Solutions are needed. The status quo isn't working.
