Criminal defense in environmental matters
Offenses against the environment and natural resources protect legal interests of collective concern and often involve investigations with technical and specialized expert evidence. Their handling calls for a rigorous analysis of the applicable regulations.
At TREU Abogados we provide defense to individuals and legal entities under investigation, as well as representation to victims, with strategies suited to the complexity of each case.

Yes. Legal entities may become linked to this type of investigation, which is why specialized advice is essential.
What should I do if I receive a summons from the Prosecutor’s Office to give a statement?
It is advisable to obtain legal advice before appearing. The statement you give may affect the course of the investigation, so it is important to understand beforehand your rights and the legal implications of each step.
