The Alicante prosecutor's office has demanded a five-year prison sentence for a law enforcement officer for disclosing official information.

The Alicante Provincial Public Prosecutor's Office has requested a five-year prison sentence for a former law enforcement officer accused of unauthorized access to official databases and subsequent disclosure of confidential information to third parties. The prosecution believes the defendant's actions constitute the crime of disclosing official secrets and violating data protection regulations.

According to the prosecution, the agent, who served in a unit responsible for accessing government information systems, allegedly provided vehicle registration numbers and other official information to third parties in response to requests from third parties unrelated to his official duties. According to the indictment, this data could have been used by third parties for purposes unrelated to the investigation or enforcement of the law.

The case is being heard by the Provincial Audiencia of Alicante, and a court hearing is scheduled for the coming days. The prosecutor's office maintains that the defendant's actions undermine trust in law enforcement agencies and constitute a serious breach of data protection and official secrecy obligations under the Spanish Penal Code.

Legal sources note that cases of unauthorized access to law enforcement databases are considered particularly serious, as they affect the confidentiality of citizens' personal information. If the violation is proven intentional, the penalty may include imprisonment and a long-term ban from holding public office.

No official statements from the prosecutor's office or the agency regarding this case have been published at this time. The trial is ongoing, and the parties are expected to present detailed arguments at upcoming hearings.
