Overview
- Police arrested suspects across Spain on Tuesday and Wednesday in several independent investigations that are now in judicial pretrial phases.
- In Palma two men were detained after a hospital medical report recorded lesions compatible with sexual penetration and the UFAM unit opened an inquiry.
- A Madrid schoolteacher arrested earlier this month has been remanded to prison after investigators identified nine victims aged 12 to 15 and seized phones and computers from his home.
- Authorities also moved on two fatal cases: the victim’s partner was detained in Usera for the Carabanchel stabbing and the Guardia Civil arrested four people linked to the May killing of an 80‑year‑old in Galapagar while carrying out house searches.
- Separate probes reflect wider strains on policing: six minors were detained in Burgos over a robbery that left an 83‑year‑old unable to access oxygen and three suspects arrested in Almería face extradition to Belgium in the killing of a Belgian officer.
