Frequently Asked Questions

What sentences does fraud carry in Spain?
Basic fraud (Art. 248 CP) carries 6 months to 3 years' imprisonment. Aggravated fraud (Art. 250 CP) can reach 6 years for amounts over €50,000 or particularly serious cases.
Are real estate fraud cases criminal or civil?
If there was deceit in inducing the purchase (false documentation, fake company, undisclosed encumbrances), it is criminal fraud. Mere contractual disputes are civil.
Can foreign residents file fraud complaints in Valencia?
Yes. Spanish criminal courts have jurisdiction over fraud committed in Spain regardless of the victim's nationality. We assist with the criminal complaint and represent the victim as private prosecution.
How are Ponzi scheme cases prosecuted?
Pyramid schemes are typically pursued as aggravated fraud (Art. 250 CP) and, if there is structure, as criminal organization (Art. 570 bis CP). Penalties accumulate.
