A reaction caused by the incorrect mixing of chemicals at the municipal swimming pool of La Bisbal del Penedès has left seventeen people injured, four of whom are in serious condition. The rest of the injured are all minor, as reported by the SEM. Initially, the possibility of sending an ES-Alert for the confinement of the population in the face of a toxic cloud was considered, a measure that was ultimately discarded once it was verified that there were no effects outside the swimming pool.

The Mossos d'Esquadra are investigating a new crime in Catalonia. A young man died stabbed this Thursday morning in Cubelles, in the Garraf region. The events took place around 11 a.m. near the town's cemetery. According to police sources, the Mossos have arrested a man as the alleged perpetrator of the crime. The body was found lying on the sidewalk next to the cemetery car park.

At night, in Barcelona's Eixample district, a young man approaches a man and asks for a light. A companion of the young man is filming. Comments can be heard such as: "Hit him already, hit him already". Suddenly, the young man slaps the man hard in the face and, just as suddenly, four friends of the young man appear and hit him and kick him.

Just over 12 hours ago, emergency services were attending to the teenager who ended up dying from a gunshot wound to the stomach, now nothing would suggest it is the scene of a murder. As described by Loli, who has lived in the neighborhood for 50 years, Parc de la Pegaso is "an institution" of La Sagrera. Her children used to have their carnival parades in the park, "when there were boats and fish in the lake." Now, she and her neighbor Àngels – who has also lived here for five decades – comment that last night a group of young people opened fire on others in this very park, near the sports courts.

A teenager died on Thursday night in Barcelona after being shot, bringing the total number of shooting deaths in Catalonia to seven in just four months. According to the latest count by the USPAC police union, as of June 1, there have been 28 shootings in the country, 45% more than the previous year, most of them in the city of Barcelona. The Mossos d'Esquadra say that the first six shooting murders are related to organized crime and drug trafficking, and suggest a gang confrontation as a possible cause for the latest incident. These are all the cases so far:

A minor has died after being shot this Thursday night in Barcelona. The events took place after 10:45 PM in Parc de la Pegaso, in the Sant Andreu district of the Catalan capital. Sources consulted by this newspaper explain that several witnesses heard between two and three shots and later saw some youths fleeing. A group of young people, some with their faces covered, approached another group and opened fire on them. The victim was 15 years old. When emergency services arrived, they found an adolescent with a gunshot wound to the stomach. Despite resuscitation efforts, the boy eventually died. The Mossos d'Esquadra have already opened an investigation and were able to arrest an adult man this Friday to Saturday night as the alleged perpetrator of the minor's death. This is the tenth crime of the year in Barcelona – nine occurred last year – and the seventh with a firearm in the country.

Ferran's boulevard in Lleida has become this Wednesday the scene of one of the most serious traffic accidents ever remembered in the city. A bus with 55 passengers, which covered the route between Lleida and La Granja d'Escarp, lost control shortly before a quarter to eight in the morning and ended up crashing against the facade of the Diputació de Lleida for reasons that are still being investigated.

The main police hypothesis, as explained by the Minister of the Interior herself, Núria Parlon, is that the driver who fled from the police in Sant Martí this Sunday morning and ended up crashing head-on into a car stopped at a traffic light – causing his death and that of the other driver – was drugged. The co-driver of the car stopped at the traffic light, a woman, was admitted in serious condition to the Hospital del Mar, but her life is not in danger. The investigation has been taken over by the Barcelona Urban Guard and they have not yet been able to identify the driver fleeing from the police. The car had French plates, but the young man driving it was undocumented. For the police, it is most likely that he fled because he was drugged and therefore did not want to be stopped. However, they want to identify him to know if he also had any other pending motivation.

The death of Isak Andic is not a usual police and judicial investigation. And it is not so because the account of the Mossos, the prosecutor, and the judge of Martorell is built on circumstantial evidence. These indications range from the behavior of his son and sole investigated person, Jonathan Andic, in the days before the events, to the messages between father and son, the contradictions in the investigated person's statements, the analysis of the deceased's autopsy, and also the study of how the fall of the Mango founder occurred and the marks it left on the ground.

The parents of a three-month-old baby who died on Friday in Sabadell have been jailed this Sunday for allegedly abusing him. As the ARA has been able to confirm, the Mossos d'Esquadra arrested the parents and one of the hypotheses now being investigated is that the baby suffered violent shaking, the most frequent form of serious abuse in infants under six months old.

Two men have died in a tragic road accident this Sunday morning in Barcelona. According to police sources, a vehicle fleeing the police in the wrong direction collided head-on with another car that was stopped at a traffic light. Both the reckless driver, who was around 30 years old, and the driver of the stopped vehicle, aged 58, lost their lives in the accident. The passenger of the second car was also injured and was taken in serious condition to the Hospital del Mar, where she has been stabilized. Her life is not in danger.

The Mossos d'Esquadra have arrested a 41-year-old woman in Sant Salvador de Guardiola (Bages) as the alleged perpetrator of the violent death of her partner, a 46-year-old man. The events occurred in February in Manresa. A man was admitted to the hospital and ended up dying. Initially, no obvious signs of criminality were found on his body, but the investigation has taken a turn.

Emergency services have caught the man who had tried to escape by sea after stabbing his mother in Sitges. According to police sources, a man assaulted his mother with a bladed weapon this Friday morning and tried to flee by sea. The Mossos asked bathers to leave the beach, which was closed for the pursuit.

A court in Mataró is investigating two nursery school workers from El Masnou for the death of a child only five months old in April 2024. Although the case was initially dismissed pending the baby's autopsy, this forensic review concluded that the child died due to respiratory failure, according to sources close to the family, and the court ordered an investigation into whether there had been negligence by the nursery school.

Dentists without a degree, rusty metal instruments that they later inserted into the mouth and expired or non-approved medications. Clients with oral infections. All this happened in two fraudulent dental clinics in Olesa de Montserrat and Esplugues de Llobregat, which have already been sealed by the police and closed by the judicial authority. On June 17, the Mossos d'Esquadra arrested five people between 32 and 60 years old as alleged perpetrators of crimes of identity theft, fraud, professional intrusion, and assault. These would be four fake dentists and a clinic owner.

Which city would top a ranking of the world's major cities with the fewest homicides? And in what position would Barcelona appear? The fact that nine murders have occurred in six months has generated insecurity – especially for residents living near the scenes of the crimes – and criticism from the opposition, both in the Generalitat and the municipal government. As this newspaper has learned, the same number of crimes have been committed in Barcelona in six months as in the whole of last year, and the vast majority are linked to organized crime – such as the execution on Carrer Balmes – and clan disputes.

The third minor who was in critical condition after the accident at Arrabassada beach in Tarragona has also died, as confirmed by the President of the Generalitat, Salvador Illa, who has expressed himself "deeply struck". "There are no words in these moments of pain. I want to convey my warmth and support to the families and friends of the boys, and to the entire CD La Floresta club," Illa expressed in a tweet. The president thanked the work of medical and emergency professionals.

Up to 78 burglaries in houses and, in addition, five set on fire. This is what is attributed to two young men who in the autumn of 2024 alerted the Horta de Lleida, an area separate from the city. Finally, after arresting the first person involved in July 2025, the Mossos d'Esquadra have managed to arrest the alleged second perpetrator of the acts, a 24-year-old man with a dozen police records. The arrest, however, was not easy.

The Mossos d'Esquadra have arrested this Thursday a man who alerted pedestrians by walking with a bladed weapon in his hand through the Sarrià-Sant Gervasi district of Barcelona. Mossos agents managed to subdue him with a Taser gun; during the operation, an agent also used his service firearm.

He was a white-skinned man, bald, with several tattoos all over his body and dressed in sportswear, with a Barça jersey and bermuda shorts. He was dead, lying on the ground on Balmes street, in front of a police station. He had been shot in the head. The police station cameras showed the whole scene: another white-skinned man, dressed in a beige t-shirt and bermuda shorts, with a helmet in one hand and a pistol in the other, had approached him and shot him in the back. Who was the victim? This is one of the first questions the investigators from the Mossos d'Esquadra asked themselves as they searched for the perpetrator, who left the weapon, the helmet, and a mobile phone at a bus stop in Gal·la Placídia and fled.
