• PP asked the European Commission to assess possible EU law breaches, alleging the bracelets malfunctioned for eight months and left victims less protected.
• Sumar registered formal questions in Congress seeking the incident’s duration, the number of affected cases, planned remedies, and safeguards against a repeat.
