Organised Crime Specialist
In organised crime cases, you are not convicted of one offence. You are convicted of two.
For perspective: the sentences stack, they do not replace each other. A major case can end in 15 to 20 years in prison.
If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't wait for the arrest warrant to arrive.
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
I represent national and international clients at every stage of the proceedings.
Police investigation
- —These operations can run for months or years before the first arrest. By the time the warrant comes, the case is already built.
- —If you have any sign that you may be under investigation, contact me before the order comes. There is room to act — but it runs out.
- —My team knows how investigation units work from the inside — which means I know where to look for inconsistencies.
Arrest and remand
- —The prosecution will request remand from the outset. In organised crime cases, it is almost automatic.
- —My work starts at the police station: advising you during questioning, attending the hearing before the judge, and fighting to prevent or limit pre-trial detention.
- —I also work from the first day on limiting the scope of any asset freeze.
Judicial investigation
- —Investigation proceedings in large organised crime cases can last years. This is where the most room for defence action exists.
- —I challenge telephone intercepts, question whether the criminal organisation classification holds, and work to separate your position from those of the other defendants.
- —If your link to the alleged organisation is peripheral, my goal is to have you excluded from the proceedings before trial.
Trial
- —At trial we put the preparation to work: unlawfully obtained evidence, contradictions in the police reports, lack of direct proof of your participation or position in any hierarchy.
- —If the prosecution offers terms worth considering, I will tell you honestly. If we need to fight the case to the end, we will be ready.
- —If there is a conviction, I can stay with you through appeals and prison law.
