CRIMINAL LAW

Castreje & Co Lawyers have a very wide experience in the field of criminal law, representing the interests of public institutions, companies and individuals, in the defence of their rights.

Our intervention includes the defence and prosecution in fields as diverse as administrative malfeasance, forgery, economic criminal law (fraud, grant fraud), accidents or injuries due to malpractice, attacks to honor and to family and personal privacy.

And after the reform of the Penal Code reflected in Law 5/2010, we provide advice to the management teams of companies, primarily in the prevention of criminal behavior within the company itself, since after this reform a new criminal figure has been created which assumes the existence of criminal liability of the legal persons.

Therefore, understanding that the company can commit criminal offences regardless of whether   the legal representatives or directors will be pursued for the proceedings concerned, the legal entity requires a special preventive counseling to prevent the criminal law from acting on the entity, with penalties which might result in the dissolution, suspension of activity, the courts, or public procurement ban.

Thus, our main activities are:

  • Compliance
  • Crimes against honor
  • Offences against the public administration and justice
  • Offences against the treasury
  • Crimes against persons
  • Property and corporate crime
  • Economic criminal Law
  • Forgery
  • Pardon
  • Prevention of money laundering
