Ertzaintza Internal Affairs Questions Arkaute Trainees Over Suspected Exam Leaks

The case stems from a disputed OPE following a leadership shake‑up at the academy.

Overview

  • Investigators have recently taken statements from members of the 33rd promotion currently training at Arkaute after passing the first phase of the selection process.
  • The inquiry focuses on possible leaks of exam content to private preparatory academies and potential incompatibilities involving public employees who may have taught there.
  • Questioning included which prep centers candidates used and whether specific ertzainas provided instruction at those same academies.
  • The probe follows a summer OPE marked by unusually high failure rates and public claims that a rival academy operated with privileged information.
  • Unions and officials are pressing for stricter chain‑of‑custody safeguards for exams, building on measures pursued under Miren Dobaran and under the new director, Jon Goikolea.
