The Spanish Supreme Court upheld a sanction against a Civil Guard officer stationed at the Can Sifre barracks in Ibiza. The officer was ordered to undergo a 20-day suspension from work and pay after allowing a family of tourists to occupy his assigned official residence without authorization. The incident was discovered during a corps celebration when an unauthorized visitor reportedly inquired about purchasing drugs.

In a separate disciplinary matter in Barcelona, a member of the Guàrdia Urbana received a 24-day suspension from work and pay. The action followed an incident where the officer allegedly refused to speak Catalan with a citizen and used derogatory language, describing the linguistic requirement as “fascist.” The sanction followed a complaint regarding violations of linguistic rights and municipal regulations.
