Guardia Civil investigates two women in Melilla over TikTok cyberbullying

Two women in Melilla have come under Guardia Civil investigation over alleged cyberbullying on TikTok targeting a person with a disability from Valencia.

The Guardia Civil is investigating in Melilla two women who allegedly repeatedly shared on TikTok photos of a person with a disability from Valencia with insults and derogatory comments. This was reported consistently by COPE Melilla and El Faro de Melilla on 10 November 2026. According to the media, no information is yet available about arrests or judicial measures.

According to the reports, the investigation followed a criminal complaint by the person affected. Guardia Civil specialists in internet-related offences – known in Spain as Equipo @ – reportedly worked together in Valencia and Melilla to establish the origin of the content and identify the two people allegedly responsible. The posts were reportedly published several times and accompanied by disparaging comments about the person’s physical condition. The specific content of the posts, the periods over which they were repeated and personal details about the person affected have not been disclosed for reasons of privacy.

The media refer to investigations into suspected offences against honour and the dissemination of humiliating content targeting people with disabilities. No completed proceedings or judgments already handed down are mentioned. Whether the Public Prosecutor’s Office will bring charges remains unclear and will depend on the outcome of the ongoing review.

The cooperation between units operating in Melilla and Valencia underlines that online offences of this kind often cross regional jurisdictional boundaries. As a rule, Guardia Civil specialist teams coordinate the preservation of digital evidence, the linking of profiles to individuals and the documentation of the content alleged to be unlawful before forwarding the findings to the court with subject-matter and territorial jurisdiction. For those affected, the reports advise documenting and reporting problematic content, blocking the profiles involved and considering legal action.

The information presented in this version is based on publications by COPE Melilla and El Faro de Melilla dated 10 November 2026. The articles cited did not refer to an official statement from the Guardia Civil. The further course of the proceedings – including any charges or court decisions – requires confirmation from the competent Guardia Civil unit or the Public Prosecutor’s Office in Valencia.
