If you suspect that family members of your abuser are involved in bugging your house and listening in from another country, the situation becomes more complex due to the international nature of the involvement. However, there are still steps you can take to protect yourself and address the issue:

1. Local Police or Guardia Civil:

• Why Contact Them: Regardless of the international angle, local law enforcement is still your first line of defense. The Guardia Civil or National Police (Policía Nacional) can investigate the situation, even if family members are involved from another country. They have the ability to work with international authorities to track and stop illegal surveillance activities. They may also work with international law enforcement agencies like Interpol if necessary.
• What They Can Do: They can help you report the bugging and may take steps to investigate whether international communication is being used to monitor you. They can also help gather evidence if you believe family members are involved and issue a complaint.

2. Contact a Lawyer Specializing in Domestic Violence:

• Why Contact Them: A lawyer can help guide you through the legal complexities of dealing with cross-border issues like this. They can advise on how to deal with the situation if you believe family members are involved, and help you file complaints, either domestically or internationally.
• What They Can Do: Your lawyer may help in obtaining protective orders, initiating legal proceedings, or working with law enforcement. They can also explore how to protect your privacy legally and make sure your rights are enforced.

3. Cybersecurity and Surveillance Experts:

• Why Contact Them: If you believe that family members are using technology to monitor you from another country, it may involve high-tech surveillance methods, such as remote access to your devices or spyware.
• What They Can Do: A cybersecurity or digital forensics expert can help you detect whether your phone, computer, or other electronic devices are being monitored. They can also help you identify how this is happening (e.g., via software or remote access) and offer solutions to block surveillance.
• How to Find Them: You can look for cybersecurity firms or specialists in digital forensics. They can also help you understand how to secure your digital life.

4. International Legal Help:

• Why Contact Them: If you suspect that the bugging or surveillance is occurring from another country, an international legal expert can advise you on how to handle the situation in a cross-border context.
• What They Can Do: They can help you with obtaining assistance from law enforcement or legal bodies in other countries. They may also help you navigate the complexities of international privacy laws, as surveillance across borders can sometimes violate various laws, including data protection and privacy laws in both Spain and the other country.

5. Embassy or Consulate:

• Why Contact Them: If you suspect that someone from another country (such as a family member abroad) is involved, the embassy or consulate of that country may offer help or information on how to address international privacy violations.
• What They Can Do: They may not directly intervene, but they can offer guidance on what actions can be taken legally or through international cooperation. They can also connect you with legal professionals or organizations familiar with international law.

6. Protecting Your Digital Devices:

• Steps to Take:
  • Reset your devices: If you suspect your phone, computer, or other devices have been compromised, reset them to factory settings and change all your passwords immediately.
  • Use encryption and secure communication apps: Use encrypted messaging services (e.g., Signal or WhatsApp) to communicate securely.
  • Secure your Wi-Fi: Make sure your home Wi-Fi is password-protected with strong encryption (WPA3 or WPA2).
  • Enable two-factor authentication (2FA): For your online accounts, enable two-factor authentication to prevent unauthorized access.

7. Reporting to Data Protection Authorities:

• Why Contact Them: If your privacy has been violated due to surveillance or hacking, you can report it to Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD), the Spanish data protection authority. This can be particularly relevant if personal information is being monitored or used unlawfully.
• What They Can Do: They can investigate breaches of privacy or data security, especially if information has been accessed without your consent, potentially as part of a larger pattern of harassment or stalking.

8. Precautionary Measures and Personal Safety:

• Remove any suspicious devices: If you suspect physical devices (such as listening devices or hidden cameras) in your home, arrange for a professional “bug sweep” from a private investigator or security expert to detect and remove them.
• Change routines and stay alert: Be cautious about your daily routines and the people you interact with, especially if you believe there is someone monitoring your actions.
• Consider relocating: If you continue to feel unsafe or there is no resolution, you might want to consider relocating temporarily or permanently for your peace of mind.

Additional Resources:

• National Domestic Violence Helpline: While primarily for women, they can offer immediate support, advice, and help in crisis situations.
• Women’s Support Organizations: Groups like Amnistía Internacional España or Asociación de Mujeres Maltratadas provide confidential support for survivors of domestic abuse and can guide you through this process.

Remember: Your safety is the priority. If you believe you’re in immediate danger, don’t hesitate to call the police (112), and take action immediately. Also, reach out to any support groups that can assist in navigating the trauma and offer emotional support.
