Miquel Esquius

Miquel Esquius is the current chief (comisario) of the Mossos d'Esquadra, the autonomous police force of Catalonia. He is in the news because he is expected to retire in August, prompting a restructuring of the police leadership by the Conselleria de Interior (Ministry of Interior) of the Generalitat de Cataluña (Government of Catalonia). The planned restructuring aims to place the Mossos' leadership under the control of Josep Lluís Trapero, the current Director General of the Police. This move is considered significant as it involves changes at the highest levels of the Catalan police force. Esquius's departure and the subsequent restructuring are relevant due to their potential impact on the future direction and management of the Mossos d'Esquadra.
