Fast-track criminal proceedings

An accelerated Spanish criminal procedure for certain offences where statutory requirements are met. The name does not imply automatic conviction or an immediate final decision.

Preparing your consultation

Organise a short timeline, documents received and details of potential evidence. Preserve messages, photographs and reports in their original format. Do not coordinate accounts with others or edit evidence. Explain which facts you know directly and which were reported to you.
