About

The Policía Judicial (Judicial Police) is a law enforcement agency in both Spain and France responsible for investigating serious crimes. Recent news highlights their involvement in tackling drug-related issues and violent incidents. In Spain, they are investigating the proliferation of 'narcopisos' (drug dens) in areas like Vallecas, Madrid, which are linked to drug use, petty crime, and unsanitary conditions. They are also investigating a shooting in the Tetuán district of Madrid. In France, the Policía Judicial recently arrested 10 individuals connected to the November 2025 murder of Mehdi Kessaci, the brother of an anti-drug activist and newly elected councilor in Marseille. This demonstrates their ongoing role in combating organized crime, drug trafficking, and related violence, making them a crucial component of the criminal justice system in both countries.
