German Man Sentenced to 18 Years for Fatal Stabbing in Mallorca

The perpetrator pleaded guilty to murdering a fellow German expatriate in 2023 and was ordered to pay €500,000 in compensation to the victim's family.

The 28-year-old German man admitted to stabbing the victim 11 times during a dispute at Mallorca's Ballermann party area in October 2023.
The court sentenced him to 18 years in prison as part of a plea deal reached just before the trial began.
The victim, a 33-year-old German expatriate, had employed the perpetrator in his restaurant, and financial disputes may have existed between them.
The convicted man was ordered to pay €500,000 in compensation, allocated as €200,000 each for the victim's two children and €100,000 for his wife.
The compensation will be raised through the sale of the perpetrator's property, concluding the case with no further appeals expected.
