Overview
- Judge Francisco de Jorge asked the government on July 2 to seek Alejandro Hamlyn’s extradition from the United Arab Emirates for suspected disclosure of secrets, privacy violations and bribery.
- Hamlyn failed to appear before the court on June 24, and the judge deemed his claim of a UAE travel ban over a 30,000‑dirham debt an implausible excuse.
- The court issued a rogatory commission to the UAE to verify any travel restriction and to clarify whether a bond, including one posted by a third party, would lift it.
- Investigators say Grupo Hafesa paid about €4,250 monthly through the officer’s wife from November 2022 until his June 2023 arrest to obtain data from police systems such as SIDENPOL, OBJETOS, ARGOS, PERSONAS and ORION.
- The company has been formally charged and its legal representative is summoned for September 23, with case files noting at least 42 people harmed by illegal disclosures.
