The Court of Instruction number 6 of Palma has decided to close the case against former Environment Minister Miquel Mir and members of the former leadership of the Balearic Government's Environment Department for alleged malfeasance related to the systematic expiration of files within the Department. Legal sources explained to ARA Baleares that it was not easy to keep the investigation open despite the complaint filed by the Environmental Prosecutor's Office, "since for malfeasance offenses, the intent must be clearly identified, and in this case, it appears to be primarily systematic negligence." The court closed the case precisely because, based on the statements taken, it cannot be concluded that the files were deliberately allowed to expire.
