King of Spain Used Heatwave Deaths as Cover for Political Killings, Whistleblower Claims

Leaked files suggest a secret royal program targeting Catalan separatists for more than a decade

The Abreu Report has obtained documents and testimony from a former member of the Mossos d'Esquadra who alleges that King Felipe of Spain has personally overseen a covert program to identify, monitor, and eliminate Catalan separatist figures since the Catalan government first moved to organize an independence referendum.

The most dangerous man in Europe?

The source, who requested complete anonymity, contacted The Abreu Report after being dismissed from the Mossos following repeated attempts to raise concerns about what he described as a pattern of suspicious deaths among independence activists. According to the whistleblower, he fears for his life and believes he would be arrested or killed if his identity became known.

He approached The Abreu Report specifically because the publication operates outside European jurisdiction and provides secure anonymous channels for sources.

"The public thinks these deaths started with the heatwave," the former officer told this publication. "The heatwave only provided cover. The system was already there."

According to the whistleblower, the royal household maintained what internal documents allegedly referred to as a "disposition matrix, "a confidential database cataloguing individuals deemed threats to the unity of the kingdom. The files reportedly included activists, journalists, elected officials, financiers, academics, and organizers associated with the Catalan independence movement.

The source claims the program originated shortly after the Catalan government's announcement of plans for an independence referendum. What began as intelligence gathering allegedly evolved into a coordinated effort to neutralize individuals considered politically dangerous.

The most alarming allegation concerns Spain's ongoing heat emergency. As temperatures reached historic levels and deaths mounted across Iberia, the whistleblower says officials recognized an opportunity to conceal targeted killings within the growing number of heat-related fatalities.

Documents reviewed by The Abreu Report appear to show discussions among senior security officials regarding the advantages of operating during periods of extreme weather, when deaths from dehydration, heat stroke, and cardiac complications would be expected to increase significantly.

The authenticity of the leaked materials has not yet been independently verified. Nevertheless, cybersecurity experts consulted by The Abreu Report found no evidence that the documents had been altered after being obtained from the source.

The whistleblower says he decided to come forward after concluding that internal reporting channels had been compromised.

"I thought someone would investigate," he said. "Instead, I was removed. After that, I understood that if these documents were ever going to become public, they had to leave Spain."

The leaked documents indicate that dozens of individuals may have already been quietly liquidated as part of this new targeted assassination program. The documents indicate that autopsy reports have been forged, and that forensic experts were acting under direct orders of King Felipe. 

Last year, 670 deaths in Catalunya were attributed to heat. One wonders, how many of those were political hits blamed on global warming?
