The Chief of Operations of the National Police has resigned after being accused of rape by an officer
A police officer under his command charges him with rape in an official home of the Ministry of the Interior, in addition to sexual assault, coercion, mental injury and embezzlement of public funds.
The resignation of the Commissioner General, José Ángel González, who is being called to testify by the Madrid Court of Violence against Women No. 8 on charges of sexual assault, coercion, mental injury and embezzlement of public funds, has caused a great deal of dust, as a result of a complaint by an officer under his command for rape.
The Ministry of the Interior has reported that Judge David Maman Benchimol has opened an investigation against José Ángel González, who has called him to testify on 17 March "as a defendant".
The incident, according to the victim.
The complaint relates to the events allegedly committed in April 2025, as explained by the victim's lawyer, Jorge Piedrafita.
That day, according to the defense, the plaintiff, an agent under Gonzalez, "was on duty," and was ordered to go to a restaurant "with a camouflaged car," where Gonzalez was with another ruler.
At that time, the plaintiff's lawyer stated in a statement that the alleged victim had received an order to transfer José Ángel González to his "official home owned by the Ministry of the Interior", where the rape with the "penetration", according to the officer, occurred.
The sexual assault took place until the woman was able to flee the house, after which, according to the defence, pressure was exerted on the reporting officer, who was directly involved in the case of Gonzalez and indirectly by other senior officials.
Fernando Grande-Marlaska was appointed Chief of Operations by the Minister of the Interior Jose Angel Gonzalez in 2018 after serving as Chief of Police of Aragon.
