The European Public Prosecutor's Office is investigating a possible fraud involving anti-violence bracelets with community funds

The European Public Prosecutor's Office is investigating potential fraud involving EU funds allocated for anti-violence bracelets in Spain. The investigation targets the Ministry of Equality and the Court of Auditors, following concerns about the proper use of these funds. The bracelets are electronic monitoring devices intended to enforce protective measures for victims of gender-based violence. The inquiry began in 2025 after the Court of Auditors identified serious deficiencies in the procurement process. The European Commission is also monitoring the situation, as the effectiveness of these devices is linked to Spain's recovery plan and EU funding. The Minister of Equality, Ana Redondo, emphasized the importance of transparency and accountability regarding the funds used.
