59 of Annual Report 2012 has continued to be observed at the visits
made in 2013, which it appears will be remedied, as this Institution has
been claiming, according to the new regulation.
56. In 2013 a total 13,986 repatriations of foreign nationals took
place, according to the data provided by the Directorate General for
the Police, the number of non-qualified expulsions having increased

“The Ministry of the Interior created in 2009 the Brigade of Expulsion of Foreign Offenders
of the National Police Force ( Brigada de Expulsión de Delincuentes Extranjeros del Cuerpo
Nacional de Policía –“BEDEX”), whose mission is the repatriation of foreign offenders with a
large number of criminal and/or court criminal records (see paragraph 59), related to terrorism,
organised bands, gender violence or any other particularly serious criminal fact and that imply a
threat to public security.”. This distinction is due to the explanation of the data made available by
the Ministry of the Interior.
57. In respect of the absence of social assistance services mentioned
in paragraph 60 of Annual Report 2012, which was observed in all
CIEs, other than those of Barcelona and Madrid, the new Regulation
contains provisions on the matter, as this Institution had informed the
DGP.
58. The deficiency pointed out in paragraph 61 of Annual Report 2012,
relating to the lack of notification to the detainees of the time when
they are to be expelled continues not to be remedied, the General
Headquarters for Foreign Nationals and Borders not having unified the
criteria applicable to all the centres, based on the Orders of the various
Courts having stay control functions.
59. In respect of the video-surveillance system at these Centres, it

is repeated that the criterion established in paragraphs 261 and 477
of Annual Report 2010 must be followed. After the visit to the CIE of
Madrid, two Suggestions had to be made, which were accepted by the
DGP, so that, when any incident occurs, its pictures must be taken ex
officio for a person responsible for the centre, duly authorised for the
purpose, to be able to view the previously recorded pictures. At the
CIE of Murcia, the Suggestion to install cameras at the leisure room
of the family unit, where women are usually confined, was accepted.
