Policía Nacional

The Policía Nacional is Spain's national police force, responsible for maintaining public order and investigating a wide range of criminal activities. Recent news highlights their involvement in significant ongoing investigations. This includes the 'Caso Kitchen' investigation, where an inspector from the Internal Affairs Unit of the Policía Nacional identified former Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy by his alleged nicknames, 'El Asturiano' and 'El Barbas,' as part of the judicial proceedings. The force is also actively dismantling criminal enterprises, such as a network in Castellón defrauding the Social Security system of approximately 162,000 euros through fictitious companies. Furthermore, the Policía Nacional has been involved in responding to violent crimes, including the arrest of a man in Córdoba for murdering his ex-partner despite a restraining order, and investigating a death in Ribeira. Their work also extends to complex cases like alleged money laundering involving the airline Plus Ultra. These recent events underscore the Policía Nacional's crucial role in law enforcement, combating fraud, and addressing serious criminal offenses across Spain.
