Criminal lawyer

Criminal defence for Marbella, Nueva Andalucía, Puerto Banús and San Pedro Alcántara, in English, from the Málaga office and in person at the police station and the courts whenever the case requires.
Scope
Criminal defence
in Marbella
Marbella generates a distinctive type of criminal case. Much of its economy is linked to property investment and to residents from other countries, and that shows in its courts: economic crime and money laundering involving companies and funds in several jurisdictions, planning offences, fraud in property sales, and a steady flow of investigations into organised crime and drug trafficking with international links.
These are precisely the areas this practice works in. Defence is provided in English, Spanish, French and Arabic.
Courts
Where cases
are heard
Offences committed in Marbella are investigated by the Tribunal de Instancia of Marbella, which also runs the duty court. Trials are held, depending on the sentence, before the criminal section or the Audiencia Provincial of Málaga. Large drug-trafficking or fraud operations affecting several provinces may go to the Audiencia Nacional.
