EncroChat & SkyECC Lawyer in Spain

Can a conviction really stand on evidence from the mass interception of encrypted chats?

European courts are growing more sceptical by the day.

If encrypted communications are being used as evidence against you, you need a lawyer with a deep command of European criminal law and everything that sits behind EncroChat and Sky ECC.

I am Miriam Rosales,

Before I practised as a lawyer in Spain, I worked within the European Union, and I know in detail how cross-border criminal cooperation works. In cases like EncroChat or Sky ECC, that experience becomes a real advantage: my priority is to win the best possible result at first instance, but if we have to take the case to a higher court, to get there with all the groundwork already done.

I can help you if:

  • You are being investigated as part of a criminal organisation and the case rests on EncroChat or Sky ECC messages.
  • You have been tied to an alias or a nickname and the prosecution simply takes it for granted that it was you.
  • You are facing extradition or a European Arrest Warrant (EAW) connected to this evidence.
  • There is already a conviction and you need to bring an appeal or a cassation appeal.

English-speaking defence

You deal with me directly, in English

If your case turns on intercepted EncroChat or SkyECC messages, you need to understand exactly what they claim to have on you. I go through it with you in English, not through an interpreter.

I represent national and international clients at every stage of the proceedings.

01

If you are still at the investigation or trial stage

  • How the evidence was obtained: we will argue a breach of fundamental rights to have the evidence ruled inadmissible, along with everything in the proceedings that flows from it.
  • How it was brought into your case: the evidence arrives with no original files, no signature and no hash, so we will contest its authenticity, the chain of custody and its standing as evidence against you.
02

If there is already a conviction and you need to appeal

  • I carry out a thorough review of everything done so far: what was argued, what was preserved and what was not.
  • From there, I give you an honest assessment of how realistic an appeal or cassation appeal actually is.

Frequently asked questions

It depends. The admissibility of this evidence is being actively debated in Spanish and European courts. In some EU countries it has been excluded, in whole or in part. The Court of Justice of the EU set clear limits in 2024. In Spain, the question is central to many live proceedings. Every case is different and needs careful individual analysis.

Every case is different, so the fee depends on its complexity and which stage or stages of the proceedings you need representation for. You will always know the cost in advance, with no surprises. That way you only pay for the work you actually need, as the case progresses.

No. My base is on the Costa del Sol, but I act throughout Spain and collaborate on international cases alongside lawyers in other countries.

Yes, at any point in the proceedings. I take care of the entire handover process with your current solicitor so the transition is smooth and does not create any complications for your case.
