    Not the local police.

    Not even the main Spanish police (the policía nacional).

    The fucking guardia civil.

    The military (despite the name) police inherited from Franco's dictatorship and somehow never disbanded.

    The ones who attempted a coup back in '81 to bring back the dictatorship.

    These ain't your regular local variety pigs.

    There's absolutely no reason for them to have been called for a noise complaint.

    Something stinks here, even more than the pigs themselves, even if they belong to a particularly stinky breed.

    To clarify, local (i.e., municipal) police does exist (generally in towns and cities with more than 5,000 citizens), and is usually called guardia urbana, policía local, or policía municipal. These are who you'd call for a noise complaint.

    There's also, as I said, the policía nacional and the guardia civil, both operating in the whole country.

    And some autonomías (states, if Spain was federal...ish, which it sort of kind of is somewhat supposed to be, in theory, but effectively isn't, in practice) also have their own police force (which doesn't mean the others won't also operate there, of course).

    It's a complicated country, mostly because it's really several, held together with duct tape and, occasionally, barbed wire.

    The authorities are waiting for the post-mortem results to establish his exact cause of death.

    I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it was the beating.
