Overview
- At least six people have been detained in the case, including a Guardia Civil agent arrested in December and posted in Gandia.
- The operation unfolded in Alicante and Valencia, and the Ondara station’s activity was halted, causing queues and missed appointments.
- Investigators say the scheme certified nonexistent repairs so vehicles with technical deficiencies could pass inspections, creating road safety risks.
- Those held gave statements and were released pending further inquiries, as the judicial investigation remains open.
- Sitval opened an internal review while employees under scrutiny deny any link to the detained agent, and potential charges include document forgery and road safety offenses with possible criminal group and private corruption.
