- Defence of family members whose accounts or assets have been frozen
Experience
Cases I know first-hand
-
Undercover agents
I have handled cases involving undercover agents. I examine how the operation was authorised, whether it stayed within its limits and whether the offence was incited.
-
Land, sea and air
I have defended cases involving road transport, speedboats, sailing boats and light aircraft. I examine every surveillance operation, boarding and seizure.
-
Encrypted communications
I know EncroChat, Sky ECC, satellite phones and encrypted messaging apps. I examine how that evidence was obtained and whether it is valid.
Common situations
Tell me which one is yours
What to do in each case, before we speak.
- Have you just been arrested?
- Do not make a statement until I arrive. It is your right, and it is what protects you most. Contact me yourself or ask a relative to, and I will come to the police station, the Guardia Civil station or the duty court, in Málaga, Marbella, Fuengirola, Torremolinos or wherever you are.
- Have you been summoned as a suspect?
- A summons is the moment to prepare your defence, not to improvise it. We meet beforehand, review what is in the case file and decide together whether to give a statement and what to say.
- Is your home or business being searched?
- If you are allowed to call a lawyer, contact me and I will come to the search. If it is already over, keep the official record and everything you were given. Do not offer explanations on your own. With the record in front of us, we will see what they are looking for and how the search was done.
- Is a family member being held on remand?
- There are deadlines to appeal and ways to apply for release. I can also visit them and explain to you, in plain language, where the case stands.
- Have your accounts, car or home been frozen?
- A freezing order can be challenged, even if you are not under investigation. Gather whatever shows where those assets came from and we will look at it.
Your situation is not listed here? Tell me what happened and I will tell you honestly whether I can help.
How I defend you
What your defence turns on
In these cases the evidence is built up over months. Every piece can be examined, and any one of them may hold the argument that changes the outcome.
-
Phone tapping
Almost all of these cases begin with a phone tap. If the court order that authorised it was not properly reasoned, or it was extended without judicial oversight, the evidence it produced may fall with it.
-
The search
Entering your home requires a court order or your consent, unless you are caught in the act. I examine how the search was carried out, who was present and what the official record says.
-
The chain of custody
Between seizure and laboratory, the substance passes through many hands. Every gap along the way raises doubt about what was really analysed.
-
The expert analysis
Net weight, purity and intended use. A poorly performed or misread analysis changes the charge, and with it the sentence.
-
Your actual role
Organising is not the same as making one delivery, keeping a parcel or lending a car. Defining precisely what you did is a central part of the defence.
-
Delay
These cases can last for years. If the delay is not your fault, the law compensates with a mitigating factor that reduces the sentence. It has to be requested and proved.
