Cuando vinieron a por mí

Synopsis of Cuando vinieron a por mí

«Cuando vinieron a por mí» is the autobiographical testimony of Sonia Vivas about her report of police corruption, published by Ediciones Península in paperback (256 pages, in Spanish).

Sonia Vivas recounts how, upon joining the police as the only woman in her intake, she detected irregularities that led her to report a corruption network involving police officers, politicians and businessmen, with crimes of sexual exploitation, drug trafficking and criminal organisation. Her report broke the pact of silence and triggered almost ten years of harassment by her colleagues, which the author turns into an indictment against impunity and a call to renew the institution.

The book belongs to the REALIDAD collection from Ediciones Península. It includes the subtitle «Historia de una vocación arrebatada».

Recommended for readers interested in real testimonies about corruption, abuse of power and harassment within police forces, from a critical and feminist perspective.
