Areas of Specialized Criminal Defense
Economic Criminal Law Offenses
Economic criminal law offenses involve violations related to the fraudulent management of financial or property resources, affecting both individuals and companies. These offenses often lead to significant financial damage and frequently include an abuse of trust or authority by the perpetrators. Below are the most common types of offenses in this area, as outlined by the Spanish Criminal Code.
Fraud
Fraud occurs when one person deceives another to gain an illicit economic benefit, causing financial harm to the victim. According to Article 248 of the Spanish Criminal Code, the following elements are required for an act to be considered fraud:
- Prior Deception: The fraudster uses falsehoods or omissions to convince the victim to take actions that are harmful to their interests.
- Economic Damage: The victim suffers a significant financial loss.
- Profit Motive: The intent is to gain an unfair financial advantage.
Penalties range from six months to three years in prison, depending on the severity of the harm and the amount defrauded. Our criminal defense lawyers work to demonstrate a lack of fraudulent intent or to reduce penalties.
Misappropriation
Misappropriation occurs when a person receives assets or money legally but later uses them for purposes other than those entrusted to them, often seen in disputes between partners or managers. According to Article 253 of the Spanish Criminal Code, this offense can lead to:
- Prison time of six months to three years, depending on the amount involved and the intent to defraud.
Our lawyers will defend your case by proving there was no intent to misuse the entrusted assets.
Corporate Offenses
In the business sphere, corporate offenses affect company management, particularly when administrators or managers act fraudulently or with conflicts of interest.
Disloyal Administration
According to Article 252 of the Spanish Criminal Code, disloyal administration occurs when a company administrator misuses the company’s resources, resulting in personal gain or harm to the company or its partners. Penalties for this offense may include:
- Prison time of six months to three years.
- Financial fines.
Our criminal defense lawyers in Girona help you defend against these charges, working to prove that actions taken were lawful and beneficial to the company.
Disclosure of Corporate Secrets
The offense of disclosing corporate secrets (Article 278 of the Criminal Code) occurs when a person accesses or shares confidential company information without authorization, causing significant financial harm. This offense is common in cases of industrial espionage and can lead to:
- One to three years in prison and substantial fines, especially if the act has caused severe financial consequences.
Money Laundering
Money laundering (Article 301 of the Criminal Code) involves giving a legitimate appearance to funds obtained through illegal means via complex financial transactions. It is often linked to other criminal activities, such as drug trafficking or tax fraud. Penalties for money laundering may include:
- Prison sentences from six months to six years.
- Fines of up to three times the value of the laundered assets.
Our team of criminal defense lawyers provides strong representation in these cases, focusing on proving the legitimate origin of funds or reducing penalties.
Fraudulent Insolvency
The offense of fraudulent insolvency (Article 259 of the Spanish Criminal Code) refers to deliberate actions by an individual or business to feign or worsen insolvency with the intent of avoiding debt repayment or harming creditors. This crime includes:
- Asset concealment.
- Fraudulent transactions to appear without sufficient resources.
- Destruction or embezzlement of assets.
Penalties can range from one to four years in prison. Our specialized attorneys work to prove that no fraudulent intent or mismanagement occurred.
Asset Stripping
Asset stripping (Article 257 of the Spanish Criminal Code) occurs when a person transfers or hides their assets to prevent them from being used to repay creditors, particularly during insolvency. This crime includes:
- Simulated donations to relatives or third parties.
- Fraudulent sales below market value.
- Transfer of assets to third parties to avoid debt collection.
This offense can result in a prison sentence of six months to three years. Our legal team is dedicated to defending your rights and proving there was no intent to harm creditors.
Tax Offense
A tax offense occurs when an individual or business deliberately evades tax payments, often through document falsification or income concealment from the Tax Agency. According to Article 305 of the Spanish Criminal Code, this offense is considered serious if the defrauded amount exceeds €120,000 in a fiscal year.
Penalties for Tax Offenses
- One to five years in prison.
- Fines up to triple the defrauded amount.
- Disqualification from receiving public subsidies or contracting with the administration.
Our tax crime lawyers work to reduce penalties or negotiate with the Tax Agency to resolve cases in the best possible way.

Crimes Against Honor
Crimes against honor violate the fundamental rights to dignity, reputation, and esteem, directly impacting a person’s public and social image. These crimes are committed when falsehoods, insults, or accusations are spread, which can severely damage someone’s honor. In Spain, these offenses are governed by Articles 205 to 216 of the Criminal Code, with libel and slander being the most common types. Below, we outline the main crimes against honor and their legal consequences.
Slander (Articles 205-207 of the Criminal Code)
Slander is a crime involving the false accusation of a person for committing an offense, while knowing the accusation is untrue. This means someone is falsely accused of criminal behavior without evidence or basis, with the clear intent to damage the accused’s reputation. Slander is serious as it can impact not only personal reputation but also the professional and social life of the victim.
- Key Element: For slander to occur, the accusation must relate to specific criminal acts, and the accuser must know the accusation is false.
Penalties for Slander (Article 206 of the Criminal Code)
- Prison sentence of six months to two years or a fine, depending on the severity.
- If the slander is spread publicly (e.g., via media, social networks), penalties may be harsher.
Additionally, the slandered person has the right to request a public retraction and compensation for moral damages caused to their reputation and dignity.
Insult (Articles 208-210 of the Criminal Code)
Insults refer to any expression or action that attacks a person’s dignity, disparaging their image or reputation without accusing them of a crime, as in slander. This offense includes disparaging comments, insults, or false statements that harm the victim’s social or professional reputation.
- Serious Insults: These are insults that cause significant harm to a person’s honor or public image, including defamatory comments or the dissemination of degrading remarks intended to damage reputation.
Penalties for Insult (Article 209 of the Criminal Code)
- Fines of six to fourteen months if the insult is serious and made publicly.
- For minor insults, penalties are reduced but still carry legal liability.
Like with slander, the insulted person may request compensation for moral damages and a public correction to restore their image.
Online Libel and Slander
Libel and slander crimes are increasingly common online as social media and digital platforms grow. These crimes occur when false accusations or damaging comments are made about a person’s reputation and dignity via digital media. The Spanish Criminal Code addresses these behaviors and provides specific penalties for those who use the internet or other public platforms to spread libel or slander.
In some cases of online libel or slander, an IT expert may be needed to trace the origin of defamatory posts, identify authors, and preserve digital evidence. An economic expert may also be necessary if the goal is to assess the financial impact of reputational damage, particularly when these defamations have professional repercussions.

Our criminal defense lawyers in Girona have extensive experience in defending against crimes against honor, including cases of slander, insult, or professional defamation. We offer a tailored defense strategy for each case, ensuring the protection of our clients’ rights by establishing the truth or proving a lack of malicious intent on the part of the accused. If you have been a victim of one of these crimes or have been falsely accused, contact us for a personalized legal consultation.
Property Crimes
Property crimes impact the assets or property rights of an individual or entity, typically involving the unlawful appropriation, damage, or harm to these assets. These offenses are regulated by the Spanish Criminal Code and can occur in personal, professional, or business contexts. The severity of the crime depends on the extent of the damage caused and the specific circumstances of the case.
Our firm specializes in defending property crime cases, providing comprehensive support for both victims and defendants. Below is a summary of the main property crimes and their penalties according to the Criminal Code.
Robbery (Articles 237-242 of the Criminal Code)
Robbery occurs when someone takes another’s property using force or intimidation against people or things. There are several forms of robbery:
- Robbery with violence or intimidation: This involves physical force or threats toward the victim and is considered more severe, with potential prison sentences ranging from two to five years (Article 242 of the Criminal Code).
- Robbery with force on property: This occurs when tools or other means are used to access the location where the property is held, such as forcing doors or windows. Penalties may range from one to three years in prison (Article 238), depending on the severity of the case.
Theft (Articles 234-236 of the Criminal Code)
Theft is similar to robbery but differs in that the property is taken without the use of force or violence. Theft occurs when someone unlawfully takes property without the victim’s immediate knowledge. It can take place in public spaces, stores, or residences.
- Petty Theft: If the stolen item is valued at less than 400 euros, it is considered a minor offense and may result in fines or short prison sentences (Article 235).
- Aggravated Theft: If the item’s value exceeds 400 euros or is taken under special circumstances, the penalty can range from one to three years in prison.
Fraud (Articles 248-251 of the Criminal Code)
Fraud occurs when someone deceives another person to gain an illicit financial or material benefit, resulting in financial harm to the victim. For fraud to be established, certain elements must be present:
- Prior Deception: The fraudster uses falsehoods or omissions to persuade the victim to take actions that harm their interests.
- Economic Damage: The victim suffers significant financial loss as a result of the deception.
Fraud can occur in various contexts, such as corporate fraud, fake purchases, or fraudulent investments. Penalties for fraud can range from six months to three years in prison (Article 249), depending on the damage caused.
Misappropriation (Article 253 of the Criminal Code)
Misappropriation happens when someone legally receives assets or money but later uses them for purposes other than those for which they were entrusted, with the intent to appropriate them.
- Common examples include managers misusing client funds or business partners in conflict over the misuse of company resources.
This offense may result in prison sentences of one to three years, depending on the amount involved and the harm caused.
Damage (Articles 263-267 of the Criminal Code)
The crime of damage occurs when someone intentionally destroys, deteriorates, or alters another person’s property, whether private or public. Damage can take various forms:
- Physical: Such as breaking a window or destroying physical property.
- Technological: For instance, infecting computer systems with malware or damaging a company’s digital infrastructure.
If the damage exceeds 400 euros in value, it is considered a serious offense and can lead to prison sentences and fines (Article 263 of the Criminal Code).
Corporate Fraud and Offenses (Articles 290-297 of the Criminal Code)
Corporate fraud and offenses are common in business contexts and involve mismanagement or fraudulent use of company resources. Common examples include:
- Disloyal Administration (Article 252): When an administrator uses company resources in a harmful or fraudulent way, resulting in significant losses for the company or its shareholders.
- Money Laundering (Article 301): Involves concealing the illicit origin of funds through complex financial transactions to make the money appear legitimate. This crime is often linked to other criminal activities, such as drug trafficking or tax fraud.
Defense in Property Crime Cases
Our criminal law firm in Girona provides specialized defense in property crime cases, representing both victims who have suffered damages or fraud and individuals unjustly accused of these offenses. We offer comprehensive legal defense tailored to each case to ensure that our clients’ rights are fully protected at all times.
Traffic Offenses
Traffic offenses can have serious consequences, both criminally and administratively. At our law firm, we provide specialized defense in traffic-related cases, ensuring that our clients receive the appropriate guidance to minimize penalties and protect their rights. Below, we outline the most common traffic offenses and their potential legal consequences.
Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol or Drugs
Driving under the influence of alcohol or narcotics is one of the most common traffic offenses. By law, it is considered a crime if a driver has a blood alcohol level above 0.60 mg/l in breath or if drugs are detected. The consequences may include:
- Prison sentences of 3 to 6 months.
- Fines or community service.
- License suspension for a period of 1 to 4 years.
This offense is particularly serious if accompanied by a traffic accident or if committed by a repeat offender.
Driving Without a License
Driving without ever having obtained a license, or doing so while the license is suspended or revoked, is considered a criminal offense. Driving without a license can result in:
- Substantial fines.
- Community service of 31 to 90 days.
- Prison sentences of 3 to 6 months for serious cases or repeat offenders.
These actions are penalized more harshly in cases of reckless driving or if an accident causes personal or material damage.
Reckless Driving
Reckless driving involves endangering the life or physical integrity of others due to excessive speed, dangerous maneuvers, or other irresponsible behavior while driving. This offense is punishable by:
- Prison sentences ranging from 6 months to 2 years.
- Fines or community service.
- License suspension for up to six years.
In extremely severe cases, such as endangering lives or causing significant material damage, penalties can be much more severe.
Traffic Accidents Resulting in Injury or Death
When a traffic accident causes serious injury or death, it may constitute reckless homicide or reckless injury, depending on the driver’s level of negligence. Consequences may include:
- Prison sentences of 1 to 4 years for reckless homicide.
- Fines and license disqualification for up to six years.
- In cases of serious injuries, the penalty may range from substantial fines, community service, or prison sentences of 3 months to 3 years.
These Cases Require Specialized Defense
In traffic offense cases, a specialized defense is essential to ensure that the driver receives a fair process, especially in situations where fault in the accident is unclear or if the offense involves minor negligence. These crimes can lead to prison sentences, fines, and license revocation. Our criminal defense lawyers in Girona are dedicated to helping minimize the legal consequences in these situations.
Gender-Based Violence and Domestic Violence
At our firm, we specialize in legal defense and protection in cases of gender-based violence and domestic violence, offering counsel for both victims and defendants. While these two types of violence are often addressed together, understanding the differences between them is critical, as each has unique aspects that influence both legal strategy and defense. Below, we outline the concepts and protective measures applicable to each case, based on the Spanish Criminal Code.
Gender-Based Violence
Gender-based violence refers to any form of violence directed at a woman by her partner or ex-partner with the intent to dominate, control, or subjugate her. This violence is a manifestation of gender inequality and is considered a particularly serious crime under Articles 153 and 173.2 of the Spanish Criminal Code.
Types of Gender-Based Violence
- Physical Abuse: Physical assaults or abuse, including hitting, shoving, or any other form of physical violence directed at the woman.
- Psychological Violence: Threats, insults, humiliation, or emotional manipulation intended to keep the victim in a submissive state. This type of violence can cause severe psychological harm (Article 173.2).
- Sexual Assault: Rape or other acts that violate the sexual freedom of the victim within the context of a relationship (Articles 178 and following).
- Economic Violence: Control of income, denial of access to financial resources, or abusive use of shared assets to maintain the woman’s dependency.
- Violation of Protection Orders: When the aggressor disregards restraining orders or no-contact orders imposed by a judge (Article 468).
Protection Orders in Cases of Gender-Based Violence
Our firm has extensive experience in requesting and managing protection orders for victims of gender-based violence. These measures are governed by Organic Law 1/2004 on Comprehensive Protection Measures Against Gender-Based Violence and may include:
- Restraining Orders (Article 48): The aggressor is required to maintain a minimum distance from the victim, covering locations such as the home, workplace, or other frequented places.
- Prohibition of Communication: The aggressor is not allowed to contact the victim through any means (phone, email, social media, etc.).
- Provisional Custody of Children: In cases involving minor children, provisional measures can be issued to protect them, such as temporarily suspending the aggressor’s custody rights (Article 544 bis of the Criminal Procedure Code).
Protection orders regulated by the Criminal Procedure Code (LECrim) include various measures to ensure the safety of the victim in cases of gender-based or domestic violence, as well as other relevant aspects of protection, such as:
- Article 544 ter LECrim: This article allows a judge to take immediate protective measures upon request for a protection order, including granting the victim exclusive use of the family home, assigning exclusive or shared custody of the children, and regulating the visitation rights of the non-custodial parent. Additionally, the judge may establish a provisional child support payment to ensure the needs of minors or the financially weaker party during the judicial process.
This article specifically addresses protection orders for victims of gender-based or domestic violence. Its key features include:
- Scope of Application: Designed to protect victims of gender-based or domestic violence, including spouses, former spouses, or those in a similar affective relationship.
- Included Measures: This article permits the implementation of precautionary measures to safeguard the victim’s safety, such as:
- Prohibition on the aggressor’s approach or communication with the victim.
- Provisional assignment of the family home to the victim.
- Suspension of the aggressor’s visitation rights with the children or granting exclusive custody to the non-aggressive parent.
- Other protective measures, such as physical protection orders for the victim.
- Objective: Its purpose is to provide comprehensive protection to victims, mitigating the risk of further aggression.
Domestic Violence
Domestic violence encompasses any form of violence within the family unit, regardless of the gender of the victim or perpetrator. Unlike gender-based violence, domestic violence can affect victims of any sex or age. This type of violence is regulated under Articles 153.2, 173.2, and 148 of the Spanish Criminal Code.
Types of Domestic Violence
- Physical Abuse: Physical assaults between family members, including child abuse or violence against elderly family members.
- Psychological Abuse: Threats, humiliation, or coercion within the family to control or dominate.
- Economic Violence: Control or restriction of another family member’s financial resources to exert control.
- Violence Against Vulnerable Individuals: Abuse or mistreatment of elderly or disabled individuals within the family (Article 148).
Protection Orders in Domestic Violence Cases
Protection measures in domestic violence cases are similar to those used in gender-based violence cases but apply to a broader range of family members. These measures may include:
- Removal from the Family Home: The aggressor may be ordered to leave the home if there is a risk of continued violence (Article 544 bis of the Criminal Procedure Code).
- Protection of Minors: If children are at risk, measures can be adopted to protect them, such as suspending the aggressor’s custody or visitation rights (Articles 65 and following of the Organic Law on Judicial Power).
- Measures for Vulnerable Individuals: In cases of abuse involving elderly or disabled persons, special measures can be implemented to ensure their safety and well-being.
Defense in Cases of Gender-Based or Domestic Violence Accusations
In addition to victim protection, we also provide legal defense for individuals accused of gender-based or domestic violence. It is essential to ensure that the rights of the accused are respected and that precautionary measures, such as restraining orders, are not excessive or unfounded.
Request for Protection and Restraining Orders
At our criminal defense law firm in Girona, we have extensive experience managing protection and restraining orders under Article 544 ter of the Spanish Criminal Procedure Code. We handle both the application of these orders and the defense of those accused. Aware of the emotional complexity of these cases, we provide comprehensive legal support to ensure that the rights of all parties involved are safeguarded.
Cybercrimes and the Spanish Criminal Code
Cybercrimes are offenses committed through the use of computer systems or the internet and are regulated under various articles in the Spanish Criminal Code, updated to address new technological challenges. As society becomes more digitalized, these offenses are becoming more common, affecting both individuals and businesses. Below are some of the most common types of cybercrimes, as outlined by the Criminal Code.
Types of Cybercrimes
Computer Fraud
Computer fraud is increasingly common with technological advances and the rise of cryptocurrency usage. According to Article 248.2 of the Criminal Code, fraud includes actions in which fraudulent financial gains are obtained through computer programs, the internet, or other digital means. Computer fraud has evolved considerably with the emergence of cryptocurrencies, as many scams exploit the challenges of tracking cryptocurrency transactions. Examples include phishing, fake investment schemes involving cryptocurrencies, and the use of malicious software to access digital wallets.
Investigation and Expert Testimony
Investigating these cases often requires collaboration with a computer forensic expert and, in some instances, a financial expert. The computer forensic expert provides essential technical evidence to demonstrate digital fraud, while the financial expert plays a crucial role in quantifying the economic damages, analyzing financial transactions, and assessing the economic impact of the crime. These specialists are essential for providing detailed reports in judicial proceedings.
Cryptocurrency Fraud
This type of fraud leverages blockchain technology to execute financial scams. The most common forms include:
- Fake investment projects
- Fraudulent Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs)
- Ponzi schemes, where investors are lured with promises of high returns through cryptocurrency investments.
These deceptive practices result in financial losses, and Article 248 of the Criminal Code applies to these types of digital fraud. In such cases, the involvement of a computer forensic expert is crucial to analyze cryptocurrency transactions, while a financial expert can assess the extent of the financial damages caused.
Phishing
Phishing is a fraudulent technique where criminals trick victims into providing personal or financial information via emails, fake websites, or other digital means. Scammers impersonate legitimate institutions, like banks or companies, to persuade victims to voluntarily disclose their data. This offense, regulated by Article 248 of the Criminal Code (fraud offense), can lead to:
- Prison sentences of six months to three years if the defrauded amount is significant or if repeated actions are involved.
Smishing and Vishing
Smishing and vishing are variations of phishing:
- Smishing: Uses text messages (SMS) to trick victims into providing confidential information or clicking links that redirect to fraudulent sites.
- Vishing: Involves phone calls where the fraudster impersonates a legitimate entity to obtain sensitive data, like passwords or bank account information.
These offenses also fall under fraud crimes (Article 248 of the Criminal Code) and carry similar penalties.
Hacking
Hacking involves unauthorized access to computer systems or networks with the intent to:
- Steal confidential information.
- Alter or delete data.
- Damage digital infrastructure or exploit system resources.
The Spanish Criminal Code addresses this conduct in Articles 197 bis and 264, which cover illegal access to computer systems and computer damage. Penalties may include:
- Prison sentences of six months to two years for illegal access.
- Up to five years in prison if severe economic damage is caused or if particularly sensitive data is compromised.
E-Commerce Fraud
E-commerce fraud occurs on online stores or sales platforms, affecting both buyers and sellers. Common examples include:
- Fake stores offering non-existent products.
- Fraudulent purchases using stolen credit cards.
- Seller scams where products are shipped but payment is never received.
These offenses are also classified as fraud crimes under Article 248 of the Criminal Code.
Carding
Carding involves credit card data theft to make fraudulent purchases or sell stolen data. This type of cyber fraud is related to fraud crimes, and if illegal access to computer systems was involved in obtaining the data, it may also include the crime of unauthorized access (Article 197 of the Criminal Code).
Ransomware
Ransomware is a type of malicious software that locks access to the victim’s devices or data until a ransom is paid. Article 264 bis of the Criminal Code addresses this as a serious computer damage offense, with penalties that can include:
- Prison sentences of 2 to 5 years if significant economic harm is demonstrated or if the attack affects essential services or critical infrastructure.
Business Email Compromise (BEC)
BEC is a type of cyber fraud in which cybercriminals gain access to corporate email accounts to initiate fraudulent transfers or obtain confidential information. This offense falls under fraud crimes (Article 248 of the Criminal Code), with prison sentences ranging from 6 months to 6 years, depending on the extent of the damage caused.
Digital Identity Theft
Digital identity theft occurs when a criminal uses personal data to commit fraud. This offense is covered by Article 401 of the Criminal Code, which addresses identity or civil status theft, with penalties of 1 to 3 years in prison.
Malware Distribution
Malware distribution involves introducing malicious software into computer systems to cause damage, steal information, or manipulate data. Common types of malware include:
- Viruses: Programs that infect other files or systems.
- Trojans: Software that appears legitimate but enables unauthorized access.
- Spyware: Software that collects user information without consent.
These actions are regulated under Article 264 of the Criminal Code, addressing computer damage, with prison sentences of up to five years if the malware impacts valuable data.
Cyber Extortion
Cyber extortion involves threatening to disclose confidential or compromising information unless a specific amount of money is paid. This crime is regulated by Article 243 of the Criminal Code, which deals with coercion offenses, with penalties of up to five years in prison, depending on the severity.
Computer Sabotage
Computer sabotage entails damaging or destroying computer systems, resulting in disruptions for businesses or public services. These offenses are considered serious computer damage (Article 264), with penalties of up to five years in prison.
Cyberstalking
Cyberstalking includes the use of digital means to intimidate, threaten, or harass a person, including digital stalking or revenge pornography. These crimes are regulated under Article 172 ter (harassment offense), with prison sentences of six months to two years.
Digital Libel and Slander
Libel and slander disseminated through digital media or social networks can lead to aggravated penalties. Articles 205 and 208 of the Criminal Code cover these offenses, and penalties may include:
- Fines and prison sentences if severe harm to the victim’s reputation is proven.
