Overview

• The Administrative Court No. 11 of Barcelona annulled two resolutions that shifted Rodríguez from the CGIC to the Rubí police station, citing an absence of specific reasons to justify a loss of confidence or suitability.
• The ruling restores Rodríguez’s right to return to the Comisaría General de Investigación Criminal but does not evaluate alleged political interference in his removal.
• Rodríguez was reassigned during a late-2021 reshuffle led by commissioner Josep Maria Estela, when Ramón Chacón was placed in charge of the CGIC.
• Following the judgment, Rodríguez met police chief Miquel Esquius and will for now continue in his headquarters-attached strategic role, with Chacón remaining operational head of the CGIC pending internal processes.
• The decision includes compensation for pay lost since the transfer, according to the ruling reported by Spanish media.
