The European Public Prosecutor's Office launches an operation for fraud involving anti-violence bracelets

The European Public Prosecutor's Office is investigating alleged fraud related to contracts for electronic bracelets used to monitor domestic abusers in Spain. This operation involves the Ministry of Equality and the Court of Auditors, prompted by failures in the Cometa system that tracks offenders. Issues reported include missing location data and technical errors that hindered the enforcement of court orders. The investigation follows a change in service providers in 2023, which led to data loss. The Guardia Civil's UCO is assisting in the inquiry, seeking documentation on the contracts and operations of the monitoring devices.
