Just to give some context, a few years ago the Spanish Police arrested the leaders of Anonymous [1]. As a Spaniard, my opinion is that this is just an intimidatory and political move.

I agree. They do it the same day they publish a list of the biggest debtors, and 4 days after elections.

There is an interim one composed by the members of the previous government.

And, there not being an active cabinet in office just now does not mean that there would not be politicians and politically selected civil servants doing things.
