Spanish Police Investigate Amazon Delivery Contractor Over Alleged Bedroom Intrusion

The woman at the centre of the case has vowed to end her patronage of the platform over safety concerns regarding contracted couriers

Overview

  • Spanish authorities have classified the July 15 incident in a Costa Brava home as a home invasion and alleged sexual assault and are performing forensic tests on a seized semen sample
  • The accused courier was identified through doorbell footage and confirmed to be a contractor for an Amazon Marketplace seller rather than a direct Amazon employee
  • Despite the ongoing police report, the same pair of couriers returned on July 17 to deliver another package to the victim’s home
  • Amazon has emphasised that the delivery was handled by a third-party carrier, asserted its commitment to customer safety and pledged full cooperation with investigators
  • The 72-year-old victim has publicly declared she will no longer use Amazon services and warned others about gaps in oversight of last-mile delivery
