Spain Flags Faults in Anti‑Abuse Bracelets After Data Migration

Authorities have not provided definitive figures or confirmation of resolution.

Overview

  • The reported faults could affect more than 4,500 women who rely on these court‑ordered monitoring devices.
  • The Ministry of Equality has sought to minimize the issue, yet it has not specified the exact scope or whether fixes are complete.
  • Advocates and commentators are calling for transparent, authoritative updates to reassure those using the system.
  • The revelation surfaces as Spain records 27 partner or ex‑partner killings so far this year, the lowest for this period since 2003.
