National Police officers arrested last Friday a figure connected to the family of a prominent judicial official over an alleged gang rape. The individual in question is identified as the son of the president of a major constitutional court, and the arrest marks a dramatic moment in a case that has attracted attention in Madrid and beyond.
The suspect spent Sunday in custody at the Plaza de Castilla facilities as investigators prepared to bring formal charges. The arrest followed a police-led inquiry that began after a Brazilian woman reported a violent sexual assault. The complaint was lodged with authorities in Madrid, and the case quickly moved from initial reporting to a detailed investigation conducted by specialized units.
Three suspects were detained in connection with the incident: two Spanish nationals, one of whom is a lawyer, and a Venezuelan. The detentions were carried out by the Family and Women’s Units within the city’s police department, which has been leading the investigation into the alleged assault and related acts.
According to the victim, who had arrived at the residence on the outskirts of Madrid in the early hours of the prior Friday, she was allegedly pressured by the suspects to provide sexual services as part of a prostitution arrangement. She reportedly refused the advances repeatedly, but the accused allegedly persisted in seeking coercive sex acts. The account provided to authorities forms the central basis of the criminal inquiry.
Police officials confirmed the accusations and stated that, following initial medical assistance for the victim, officers collected samples and evidence from the scene and from the residence for court analysis. The procedural steps reflect standard procedures in sexual assault investigations, including victim support, medical examination, and careful evidence gathering to support any potential charges filed with the judiciary.
As the investigation continues, authorities are expected to release further details about the case, including the legal status of all three detainees and the nature of the charges brought before the court. The situation has placed the spotlight on the handling of sexual violence cases by law enforcement, the protections afforded to victims, and the accountability of individuals connected to high-profile public roles. The police and judicial authorities have emphasized their commitment to a transparent process that respects due process while pursuing justice for the victim and ensuring public safety in the community. The investigation remains active, with ongoing interviews, witness statements, and forensic analyses shaping the path forward in this troubling case.
