an undercover officer with the National Police Service has been living in a rural farmhouse in the municipality of Atarfe, Granada since last night. he surrendered to Civil Guard agents who negotiated with him for several hours this afternoon to put an end to his disruptive behavior.
the Civil Guard spokesperson told Efe that the officer was taken into custody after a separate criminal complaint was filed against him. the charge relates to gender violence alleged to have been perpetrated by an ex-spouse, with no dependent children involved.
the resident previously threatened to cause a detonation at the isolated property where he was alone, near the Camino de Albarrate. as a precaution, no evacuation of the surrounding area was required.
kill his wife
according to the initial information released by the Civil Guard, the force reported yesterday afternoon that the officer had threatened to end his wife’s life and then moved to a family farm where he had taken shelter.
when the presence of civil guards was detected, the officer allegedly threatened to blow up the building, prompting a closing discussion with him during the last hours. ultimately, the officer surrendered without the use of force.
at this time, the National Police have not released additional details about the officer or his working status, as the events occurred in a jurisdiction overseen by the Civil Guard.
inquiries and ongoing investigations remain active, with authorities coordinating to gather all relevant evidence and ensure the safety of nearby residents. ongoing coverage will be provided by the Civil Guard and associated agencies as more information becomes available. attribution: Civil Guard.
