Defence and prosecution in property offences

Home Insurances Product

In the contemporary landscape of international business and private wealth management, the protection of assets and the preservation of institutional reputation are paramount. At Alen and Marbe, we understand that legal challenges involving property offenses are not merely procedural hurdles but critical moments that require the highest level of strategic intervention. Our firm provides a specialized service in the defense and private prosecution of crimes against property, offering a bespoke approach for High Net Worth Individuals, family offices, and multinational corporations. We operate with the understanding that legal excellence is the only standard acceptable when your legacy and financial integrity are at stake.


Comprehensive Defense Strategies for High Profile Allegations

When an individual or a corporate entity faces allegations related to property or economic crimes, the repercussions extend far beyond the courtroom. A robust defense is not only about legal technicalities but about managing the narrative and ensuring that every procedural safeguard is strictly enforced. Alen and Marbe offers a sophisticated defense service that begins with an exhaustive analysis of the evidence and the underlying economic reality of the case. We specialize in complex scenarios where civil disputes may be erroneously characterized as criminal offenses, ensuring that our clients are protected from overzealous prosecution and reputational damage.

Our criminal litigation department is composed of seasoned experts who possess a deep understanding of the Spanish Penal Code and international judicial cooperation. We navigate the intricacies of economic criminal law with a focus on procedural solvency, challenging the admissibility of evidence and leveraging expert witness testimony to build an unassailable defense. Whether the case involves allegations of high-value theft, misappropriation, or complex fraud, our approach is defined by discretion, rigor, and an unwavering commitment to the presumption of innocence. We anticipate the moves of the prosecution, allowing us to implement preventive measures and strategic rebuttals that are tailored to the unique circumstances of each client.


Private Prosecution and the Recovery of High Value Assets

For those who have been the victims of crimes against their property, the legal path toward restitution requires more than just filing a complaint. It demands a proactive and aggressive legal stance to ensure that the perpetrators are held accountable and that assets are recovered. Alen and Marbe acts as a private prosecutor (Acusación Particular), providing our clients with a powerful voice in the criminal justice system. We represent the interests of victims in cases of large-scale fraud, embezzlement, and industrial espionage, ensuring that the investigation is thorough and that all financial trails are meticulously followed.

Our firm excels in the coordination of forensic accounting and private investigation resources to support the criminal process. We understand that in property crimes, the objective is often twofold: seeking justice through a criminal conviction and securing the full economic recovery of the losses sustained. By intervening from the earliest stages of the investigation, we influence the direction of the proceedings, requesting precautionary measures such as the freezing of assets and the seizure of property to guarantee that any future judgment is enforceable. Our international perspective allows us to track assets across jurisdictions, providing a global shield for our clients interests from our strategic hubs in Spain.


Specialized Expertise in Economic and Corporate Property Crimes

The distinction between property crimes and socio-economic offenses is often blurred in the corporate world. At Alen and Marbe, we possess specific expertise in crimes such as misappropriation (apropiación indebida), corporate fraud (estafa), and crimes against intellectual and industrial property. These cases often involve intricate financial structures and require a legal team that can speak the language of business. We advise boards of directors and executive leadership on the criminal implications of corporate decisions, providing a preventive approach through the implementation of robust compliance programs and internal investigations.

Our practice also extends to the defense and prosecution of crimes involving real estate fraud, a sector of particular relevance in the exclusive markets where we operate. From the luxury developments of Marbella to the historic districts of Madrid and the corporate avenues of Barcelona, we protect our clients against fraudulent transactions and property encroachments. Our deep roots in these regions, combined with our technical proficiency, allow us to handle cases that involve significant real estate portfolios with the necessary legal and cultural nuance. We ensure that every property right is defended with the maximum legal force available.
