Overview
- Police in Salamanca detained Héctor de Miguel, known as Quequé, overnight on July 16 after acting on a judicial reclamation issued by a Madrid court, authorities told EFE.
- Officials have not released the specific reason for the Madrid reclamation, so it is unclear which judicial process prompted the detention.
- A separate proceeding in Valladolid opened to oral trial on March 16 accuses Quequé of alleged coacciones against Polonia Castellanos, with the public prosecutor seeking two years in prison and €6,000 in compensation and naming Cadena SER as civilly liable.
- A prior 2025 inquiry into alleged hate speech by Quequé over comments about the Valle de los Caídos was archived by the Audiencia Provincial de Madrid, showing mixed outcomes across his legal cases.
- Under Spanish procedure, a judicial reclamation can lead police to detain someone to bring them before a court, and Quequé’s detention could result in transfer to the issuing court or a formal hearing to clarify the reclamation’s basis.
