Comisaría General de Información

The Comisaría General de Información (General Information Commissariat) is a unit within the Spanish National Police responsible for investigating crimes related to information, national security, and terrorism. Recent news highlights their involvement in two distinct cases. First, they received data from Red Eléctrica (Spanish grid operator) related to a major power outage in April 2025, including thousands of audio recordings and emails from the control center. Red Eléctrica is now trying to prevent public access to these files, citing the sensitivity of the information. Second, the Comisaría General de Información is investigating a massive data theft affecting students and teachers in Castilla-La Mancha, leading to the arrest of two individuals suspected of cyberattacks, data breaches, money laundering, and belonging to a criminal organization. These cases demonstrate the unit's role in addressing both critical infrastructure security and cybercrime threats within Spain.
