Jaume Matas's time in regional politics will be remembered for decades, not only for the corruption cases that landed him in jail, but also for the financial burden he placed on the citizens of the Balearic Islands, who are still footing the multimillion-euro bill for his follies. The regional government will pay the final 2.7 million euros for the Palma Arena project in July: this infrastructure will have cost a total of 89.2 million euros, almost three times the initial estimate, and more than double the original tender amount.
