It seems they triggered the action by deliberately provoking the other passengers:

"The incident provoked accusations of racism, but suspicions about the
motives of the two men were raised after it was revealed that they had only
been in Malaga for a few hours before flying home, leading to allegations
that the affair had been a publicity stunt.

It has since emerged that Ashraf is facing jail for cloning credit cards
while working at a petrol station. Details of the fraud were heard in court
two days after the race row, but have not received publicity until
now."
