Frequently Asked Questions

Which offences do you defend in Santa Cruz de Tenerife?
On the island our work concentrates on tax fraud, money laundering associated with the tourism sector, international drug trafficking and organised criminal group offences.
Do you have a practice in Tenerife?
No. The firm has a single base, at Calle Velázquez 27 in Madrid. We act before the island courts with counsel travelling for each procedural step; the first consultation is by appointment and may be held by video call.
Do you handle laundering matters linked to the tourism sector?
Yes. That is one of the distinctive features of the Tenerife jurisdiction: the investigation usually starts from the origin of funds invested in tourism and hospitality businesses, and the defence is built by evidencing the lawful traceability of those assets.
Do you work in English?
Yes. The defence can be conducted in English, which is routine in island proceedings involving foreign residents or visitors.
