Situation
The entrepreneur was placed under investigation for fraud (estafa, Art. 248 CP) following a complaint by a former business partner. Potential sentence: up to 6 years in prison. Critical risks: reputational damage, account freezing, contract losses.
Solution
Criminal lawyers assembled a full chronological evidence base: correspondence, contracts, payment records, and bank statements refuting every point of the complaint. A detailed written defence brief was prepared. At the hearing, the defence refuted all prosecution arguments. An independent financial expert was retained.
Result
The Juez de Instrucción issued sobreseimiento libre — full and final dismissal with no possibility of reopening. Client continues his business. Reputation restored.
