Stan The ManDeport them to where exactly? What does deporting solve? You are just passing the problem elsewhere.
A restraining order is not nearly enough punishment for these crimes. How many people have had their holidays and their lives ruined by these criminals emptying their bank accounts. Come on Mallorca justice, get real. At the least they should be heavily fined and the funds returned to the victims. At best they should be imprisoned and fined. A slap on their wrists won't deter bad people like this. Justice is not served until criminals regret their crimes. Restraining orders won't change anything. They'll just move to another town and start over.
Well done the Policia. The punishment for these criminals is not enough. They should be imprisoned then deported. Never to be allowed to return to Spain etc. Plus the Canary Islands. Unless severe punishment is applied. These criminals and their crimes will occur again. The Credit Card holders were very stupid.
