Guardia Civil Detains Agent After Video Shows Force Against Handcuffed Woman in Oliva

The case moves to judicial review on an alleged offense against moral integrity.

Overview

  • The institute confirmed the arrest and suspension of the agent after a neighbor’s phone video went viral showing a forceful detention outside a gaming hall in Oliva.
  • Images depict the officer gripping the woman by the chin, pushing her against a wall, sweeping her legs, dragging her on the ground, and pinning her with a knee as she cried out and appeared not to resist.
  • The incident occurred in late July; the woman was later processed in a fast-track hearing on accusations that she assaulted two officers.
  • Several law-enforcement personnel and multiple patrol cars are visible in the footage, with reports noting that no one on scene intervened.
  • Investigators have called the woman to give a statement after the video spread on social networks, including posts shared widely over the weekend.
