Multirecidivism remains a complex issue in Catalonia. The Mossos d’Esquadra police force has deployed the specific Kanpai plan to curb the impunity of the most active offenders. However, data shows that during 2024, a dozen people accumulated 475 arrests, averaging one arrest every nine days. Figures for the first half of 2025 point in the same direction, with 281 arrests for the 'top 12', equivalent to one detention every eight days.

The detailed analysis, provided by the Department of Interior in a parliamentary response to Vox, indicates that these active individuals primarily commit crimes against property. The leader of this group accumulated 53 arrests in one year, being detained almost once a week. In his case, the most frequent crimes were forced robbery (33), followed by violent robbery (9) and theft (7). The second person on the list accumulated 50 arrests, with a nearly identical criminal profile.

Regarding the types of crime, four out of ten of the 475 arrests of the 'top 12' correspond to forced robbery (211 arrests). This is followed by theft, which accounts for almost 20% of the arrests (91), and violent robbery, with 13% (62). There is also a peculiar profile: one of the detainees, ranked fifth, accumulated 32 arrests solely for breaching a judicial measure.

The data also sheds light on the nationality of those arrested. Of the 12 most detained offenders in a year, five are Spanish. This proportion aligns with the general overview of arrests in Catalonia, where approximately 40% of those arrested are Spanish and 60% are foreign nationals. The Department of Interior, led by Núria Parlon, is considering including more contextual analyses in future statistics regarding the profile of the majority offender, focusing on their living conditions rather than their origin.
