Organised Crime Defence Lawyer in Spain

In drug trafficking or money laundering cases with three or more people, the organised crime label is almost automatic.

And that label multiplies the sentence in ways most people never see coming until it is too late.

If I were in your position, I would start dismantling the case against you right now.

I am Miriam Rosales,

Criminal defence solicitor specialising in organised crime, drug trafficking and complex criminal cases. 90% of my cases involve some element of criminal organisation.

My team includes lawyers who spent over 20 years in law enforcement. They know exactly how these investigations are built, which means they know where the weak points are. That is a genuine advantage, and we use it in every case.

These are the situations I handle:

  • — Large-scale investigations with multiple defendants
  • — Long-running investigations involving wiretaps and surveillance
  • — Police cooperation across different countries
  • — Asset freezing and preventive seizure from day one
  • — Co-defendants with varying degrees of involvement
  • — Cross-border cases involving EU criminal law

English-speaking defence

You deal with me directly, in English

Organised crime cases often pull in people of several nationalities at once. You explain your side to me in English, with no interpreter in the middle, and I tell you straight where you stand.

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

01

Arrest and pre-trial detention

  • —The prosecution will request pre-trial detention from the very first moment. In organised crime cases it is almost automatic.
  • —My work starts at the police station: your statement, the first court appearance and the fight to try to keep you out of prison.
02

Judicial investigation

  • —The judicial investigation phase can last years.
  • —Here I work to challenge the organised crime classification and set your position apart from the other defendants.
03

Trial

  • —At trial we bring everything to light: unlawfully obtained evidence, contradictions in police reports, the absence of direct proof of your involvement or your place in the hierarchy.
  • —If negotiating with the prosecution offers reasonable terms, I will tell you honestly. If we have to fight the case to the end, we go in prepared.

Frequently asked questions

The Spanish Penal Code distinguishes between the two. A criminal organisation requires a hierarchical, stable and permanent structure. A criminal group is more informal and circumstantial. The sentences differ significantly, and securing a reclassification from organisation to group can mean years less in prison. It is one of the first things I assess in every case.

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.
