Elche man arrested for sending intimate images of his partner

The dissemination of images that contain sexual content or that violate an individual’s privacy typically results in a negative outcome. Just ask a 22-year-old man who was recently apprehended by the National Police in Elche for the alleged offence of uncovering and disclosing secrets. The incident consisted of two entirely private photographs of a 20-year-old girl, an apparent “anonymous” social media profile, insults, degradation, and threats of publishing additional images, and an unexpected conclusion. This narrative, which culminated in an arrest, can be summarised in this manner.

This all began with a complaint lodged by a 20-year-old woman at the Elche Police Station. The officers were informed by the young woman that her partner had received two photos of her having intercourse with a man through an unknown social media profile. The officers were informed by the young woman that she had never granted her consent to disseminate these images or to be recorded. She was completely oblivious of the existence of these frames until the messages arrived. Consequently, her astonishment and indignation were evident when she observed these two screenshots, which appeared to have been derived from a video.

Nevertheless, the situation did not conclude at that point. The complainant had also received insults, harassment, and threats that additional images similar to those sent to her companion would be published from the same profile.

Based on these initial indications, the Elche Judicial Police initiated an inquiry to determine the perpetrator of these incidents. This is the method by which they identified the purported perpetrator. Nevertheless, the outcome must have been entirely and utterly astounded: the individual who had allegedly created the social media profile, forwarded the images, and insulted, harassed, and threatened the young woman was her own partner.

The young man was apprehended by National Police officers for the alleged discovery and disclosure of secrets. This offence is classified as a violation of the right to privacy, the right to one’s own image, and the inviolability of the home. The fact that the young man, according to investigative sources, had a criminal record, albeit for different offences, is significant in this instance.

It appears that these types of complaints are not prevalent, at least in the context of the information provided. That does not imply, as the National Police has been warning for some time and as statistics confirm, that cybercrimes have been gaining ground. “Cybercrimes” refers to the use of a computer or any other digital technology to commit an illegal activity, even if that technology enables what was previously a traditional crime. They caution against this and emphasise the significance of preserving privacy in the social media era.

Benidorm joins the agreement for the inspection of tourist apartments

The inclusion of the Generalitat (Catalan Government) in the agreement permitting inspections of tourist accommodations and the enforcement of sanctions in the event that any irregularities are found was accepted by the Benidorm City Council plenary session yesterday, Monday 31st March.

The PSPV-PSOE (Socialist Party) abstained, claiming that the agreement constitutes “a dereliction of duty by the Generalitat” and that Benidorm City Council “does not have sufficient resources” to adequately carry out the inspection tasks. In its regular plenary session for the month of March, the council approved this point with the votes of 16 local government councillors from the PP and one Vox councillor.

The council will, however, bolster the Local Police force by creating 20 new jobs, which means that “there will be more material and personnel resources,” according to government spokesperson Lourdes Caselles.

In addition, Caselles claims that “there have already been several meetings with experts from the regional ministry and the city councils” who have shown interest in making sure that “this delegation can be implemented as quickly as possible.” One such meeting was with the Benidorm delegation.

Power delegation

After taking on the duties, Benidorm agrees to create a report every three months detailing the complaints that have been made, the open files and how they have been resolved, and any penalties that have been applied.

The municipal administration stated that the Architecture Department “is working on an ordinance to regulate tourist housing and to provide security and strengthen this type of tourist accommodation, provided that regulations are followed.”

As a result, Benidorm is among the first cities in the community to take over the delegation of authority and start conducting inspections.

The agreement for the financing of improvements and replacement of the wastewater treatment and sanitation facilities was also unanimously approved by the local council at its plenary session. This would handle the current Benidorm WWTP’s restoration needs and fix the structural and electrical installation flaws in the wastewater pumping stations, requiring an investment of €14,520,000.

Elche’s PP and Vox approve a 9% water bill rise

Tap Water Kitchen

Together, the Popular Party and Vox have authorised a 9% increase in water bills, which would cost Elche residents about 18 euros more annually. Juan de Dios Navarro, the water councillor, stressed that this pricing increase will include a reduction for long-term unemployed people, vulnerable people, large families, seniors, and those who are permanently incapacitated. Additionally, the change will restore the €4.3 million anti-flood investment plan, build a storm tank to collect rainwater in the San Antón ravine, establish a sewer fund, clean drains, and supply water to unserved districts like Llano de San Gosé, Algoda, Matola, and Pusol, Navarro stressed.


Héctor Díez, a spokesman for the Socialist Party, denounced the hike in water bills as a “fiscal blow.” He further bemoaned the fact that in addition to this increase, the municipal authorities had commissioned a €75,000 sculpture to mark the 25th anniversary of Aigües d’Elx.

Additionally, Díez claimed that this year’s Atirriadas plan had only been allocated €250,000. Díez added that the local council has authorised a waste tax hike of up to 33% this year in addition to the increase in water bills.
