CGPJ Observatory to Present Judges’ Views on Anti‑Abuse Bracelets in October

The body polled magistrates after reports of device glitches, saying the problems do not indicate a systemwide failure.

Overview

  • Judges reported issues such as delays in fitting the devices, limited coverage angles, and difficulties in small localities.
  • Specific complaints from the Audiencia de Granada and courts in Orense were processed, with a formal review period opened to propose improvements.
  • The Observatory says the bracelets remain useful though not infallible, operations have continued normally, and reported incidents have not been linked to deaths.
  • Following the prosecutor’s alert, the Observatory answered a letter from the Government Delegation with available data, and Esther Erice has not spoken with Equality Minister Ana Redondo.
  • A consolidated synthesis of judges’ opinions will be presented at the October plenary and later shared publicly, with attention to informing victims.
