The Civil Guard’s Internal Service (SAI) reported that personnel were deployed earlier today as part of an ongoing review. At the head of economic management for the Civil Guard in Valencia, Lieutenant Colonel Miguel Ángel Escamilla, a high-ranking official, is overseeing an inquiry into alleged irregularities related to the handling of funds and materials allocated to barracks rehabilitation and other purchases. The aim is to determine whether resources were misused or misallocated in the purchase of various materials and related expenses.
Area Defense Inspectorate VI of the Civil Guard is conducting the probe under the supervision of the General Directorate of Civil Guards. The investigation followed statements from financial directors within the service, and the matter has been on the desk of internal affairs for several months. The inquiry intensified this morning with the registration of offices and the confiscation of a substantial volume of documents for analysis. Authorities say the forthcoming analysis will clarify the scope and implications of the findings.
Initial information indicates that multiple files were affected, including those tied to material acquisitions for barracks work. However, no definitive conclusions have been reached about the individuals involved. Officials have confirmed that several activities are being reviewed, and today’s steps are intended to establish whether the concerns amount to criminal conduct or remain civil or administrative in nature.

Officials stress that no arrest has been made at this stage. For the moment, there is no clear and sufficient evidence to hold anyone responsible for the alleged irregularities or for any presumed intent to misuse funds. Some references describe certain items as minor quantities and treat the matter as a possible management error rather than a deliberate crime.
The investigation has been led by Colonel Escamilla, who belongs to the Joint Corps of the Armed Forces and is associated with Military Response Troops. Civil Guards do not typically employ technicians for these specific tasks, so the Ministry of Defense provides specialized support as needed. Escamilla has accumulated more than fifteen years of experience as an inspector for the Civil Guard in the Community of Valencia, a tenure that informs his approach to the current inquiry and the management of this case as it unfolds.
As the process continues, authorities emphasize that the objective is to establish a clear factual record. The procedure includes thorough review of financial records, procurement documents, and internal control reports to identify any procedural gaps or improper practices. The outcome will depend on the corroboration of the evidence and the legal framework applicable to the circumstances surrounding supply and contract management within the Civil Guard operations in Valencia.
Observers note that internal controls are designed to detect anomalies in spending and procurement, especially in the context of barracks upkeep and infrastructure improvements. The current steps underscore a commitment to transparency and accountability within the force, with the expectation that the full facts will emerge through careful examination of documents, interviews, and records. The investigation remains in a preliminary phase, and officials cautioned that any conclusions will require careful, legally grounded analysis before determining next steps or potential charges.
