Alarm in the Police Command Chat: "Now all the dirt is going to be aired"

A recent scandal within the Spanish National Police signals a deeper issue of fear and dysfunction related to reporting misconduct among higher-ups, prompting urgent discussions among Police command members.

The fall from grace of José Ángel González, the former head of the Spanish National Police, has triggered an urgent reflection on the treatment of women and misconduct reporting within the organization. In a leaked WhatsApp group chat, police commanders express their fear that González’s ousting will lead to wider allegations of misconduct being brought to light, which reflects a growing atmosphere of anxiety over how such issues are managed. A noteworthy comment from an unnamed officer signals that officers are bracing for what they anticipate will be a reckoning, saying, "Now all the dirt is going to be aired." This statement hints at a broader concern over the culture of silence and fear that seems to deter victims from reporting incidents.
