Vox Party Member Investigated for Gender Violence in Political Scandal

A political scandal is underway as a Guardia Civil Gender Violence probe has been launched into right-wing Vox party member, Juan Ros Alcaide. 

The Senator for Cueta has been accused of attacking his partner, who was ultimately hospitalised on Tuesday 18 February.

She was admitted into hospital in Malaga with ‘polytraumatisms compatible with an aggression.’

Alcaide has denied the allegations and upholds that his wife suffered a ‘domestic accident’ caused by falling down the stairs. The Guardia Civil were alerted after call was placed reporting an attempted suicide.

The 54-year-old victim was discovered with signs of violence and traces of blood – with Alcaide at his wife’s side.

The initial explanation for the incident was that she had fallen down some stairs after consuming a large quantity of medication. She was immediately taken to the Hospital Clinico Universitario de Malaga.

The court were notified of the events, however the woman has not filed a complaint.
