Overview

• Judges’ records from 2024 and 2025 report faulty geolocation, false alarms and removable devices, urge fixes and more Cometa technicians, and call for rapid installation once ordered by courts.
• La Razón details two recent Andalusian cases: one suspect removed the anklet before going to the beach and another was arrested near the victim while the device placed him two kilometers away.
• The Fiscalía’s annual report says courts were repeatedly told data before March 20, 2024 could not be provided, which led to a large number of provisional dismissals or acquittals, though later many files were reopened once data were recovered.
• Equality Minister Ana Redondo maintains the devices worked at all times, migration issues were resolved by late 2024 and dismissals tied to technical faults are under 1%, with 4,515 devices active as of July 31, 2025.
• The PP has called a Senate session this week and seeks Congress to censure Redondo, has asked the European Commission to assess compliance with EU protection standards, and the TSJA president urges solutions while cautioning against creating alarm.
