Madrid Sees Violent Abduction and Separate Fatal Hit-and-Run Under Police Investigation

Investigators prioritize witness videos alongside forensic evidence, exploring a possible revenge motive in the Carabanchel case.

Overview

  • At about 20:45 Friday on Calle Antonio López in Carabanchel, three high-end cars rammed a vehicle, gunfire was reported, the driver was forced out, and he was taken away by the attackers.
  • The victim’s car was left in the roadway with bullet impacts as Policía Científica processed the scene and collected evidence.
  • Grupo 12, the National Police unit for kidnappings, has assumed the case while officers examine the victim’s background and pursue a possible revenge or adjustment-of-accounts motive.
  • No arrests or identities have been disclosed, and investigators are gathering bystander recordings and other camera footage that could prove decisive.
  • In a separate incident around 02:00 Saturday in Puente de Vallecas, a 74-year-old woman was fatally struck on Avenida de la Albufera, and Municipal Police are seeking the fleeing driver using traffic and private security videos.
