Police in Andorra arrested a 56-year-old man in Escaldes-Engordany last Monday after hospital staff activated a purple code—a protocol for gender-based violence—due to injuries on his partner.
The woman had arrived at the medical center showing signs of assault. She later filed a formal complaint for gender violence, accusing her husband of physical and psychological harm as well as death threats. Officers detained him on suspicion of offenses against physical and moral integrity and individual liberty.
