Experience and professionalism: experience to believe!

Freedom is the most valuable asset. When choosing a lawyer, make sure that he or she is a lawyer with long and qualified experience behind him or her; check his or her track record with newspapers and be wary of word-of-mouth deception.

Narcotics offences

The Spanish Criminal Code provides for a number of drug-related offences, ranging from simple possession to production and distribution. The penalties for these offences may vary depending on the specific circumstances of the case, but may include imprisonment and/or fines.

Associative and Mafia-related crimes

Associative offences are defined as offences committed by two or more individuals united by a common criminal purpose. This can include anything from criminal associations to terrorist organisations.

Associative crimes often involve complex hierarchical structures and extensive planning to carry out their illegal activities. These types of crimes can be very difficult to investigate and prosecute due to the secretive nature of the groups involved. One of the most famous examples of associative crime is the mafia, a criminal organisation believed to be involved in a wide range of illegal activities, from racketeering to murder.

Over the years, ILA Law Firm has gained significant experience in handling complex trials for mafia, camorra and ‘ndrangheta, as well as foreign mafia organisations.

Extradition

Extradition is the formal process by which one country hands over a suspect or convicted person to another country. The process begins when the authorities of the country where the suspect is located receive an extradition request from the authorities of the country where the crime was committed.

Extradition can be requested for a wide range of offences, including murder, kidnapping and terrorism. To obtain the extradition of a suspect, the requesting country must provide proof that there is probable cause to believe that the suspect has committed the crime in question. Extradition proceedings then take place to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to justify sending the suspect to stand trial in the other country. If extradition is granted, the suspect will be handed over to the authorities of the requesting country and will be subject to their laws and procedures.

Extradition is a complex process and it is important to have an experienced lawyer by your side if you are facing extradition proceedings.

Recycling

Money laundering is the act of concealing money or assets obtained by illegal means. The money is transferred to legitimate businesses or financial institutions, where it can be used without arousing suspicion.

Money laundering allows criminal organisations to profit from their illegal activities while avoiding detection and prosecution.

There are several ways to launder money, but they all involve some kind of deception. For example, money launderers may purchase goods or services in cash and then sell those same goods or services at a higher price using a legitimate bank account. This conceals the source of the money and generates a profit.

Other money laundering techniques include gambling, real estate transactions and even charitable donations.Money laundering is a serious crime that carries heavy penalties in many jurisdictions.

European Arrest Warrant

The European Arrest Warrant (EAW) is the legal document that enables the swift and effective return of criminal suspects between EU Member States. It was introduced in 2004 as part of the EU’s efforts to improve cross-border law enforcement cooperation.

The EAW streamlines the extradition process by eliminating the need for formal extradition proceedings. The issuing state transmits the warrant directly to the executing state. The EAW can be issued for any offence punishable by a prison sentence of at least 12 months and the authorities have no discretion to refuse its execution.

Consequently, the EAW has been criticised for violating civil liberties by allowing the extradition of suspects without due process. However, the European Court of Justice upheld the legality of the EAW, stating that it represents a ‘fair balance’ between the rights of the individual and the interests of justice.

Crimes against individuals

Crimes against the person are defined as illegal acts committed against an individual with the intent to cause physical or psychological harm. In Spanish law, there are several crimes that fall into this category, including assault, battery, kidnapping and murder. These crimes are often considered among the most serious crimes that can be committed and carry harsher penalties than other types of offences. This is because they involve a direct attack on another person, which can have lasting physical and emotional consequences.

Crimes against the Family and against minors

Crimes against the family and children are defined as any type of violence committed against a family member or minor child. This can include physical, emotional or sexual abuse, as well as neglect. In Spain, these crimes are taken very seriously and those convicted may face severe penalties, including imprisonment. In addition to punishment, Spanish law also provides for compensation to victims and protection from future harm.

Maritime Litigation

Maritime law is a complex and intricate field. Having an experienced lawyer by your side is important to navigate this legal sphere safely in order to protect your interests.

This area of law covers a range of laws governing maritime activities, including water transport, commercial fishing and coastal land use, but also various legal issues arising from maritime accidents, such as personal injury or death.

Given the delicacy of each case and the speed of intervention, advance payment of the legal services provided by our firm is required by instant bank transfer.
