María del Carmen Brotons Buil,[1] more commonly known as Carmen Broto (9 April 1922 – 11 January 1949), was a Spanish prostitute whose murder shocked Spanish society in the late 1940s. At the time of her death members of the establishment were implicated in her murder.[2][3] Some sources indicate that the speculation that powerful people were involved in her death resulted in an abbreviated inquiry to her murder.[2][4] Carmen Broto was nicknamed Cascabeles.[1]
