The area
Criminal defense against offenses against public administration
Offenses against public administration concern the proper exercise of public office and the management of State resources. They usually involve extensive investigations, abundant documentary evidence and the participation of oversight bodies.
At TREU Abogados we conduct the defense of public officials and private individuals under investigation, as well as the representation of the State and of victims where appropriate, with the utmost technical rigor at every stage of the proceeding.
Every case demands a different strategy. The difference lies not only in knowing the law, but in knowing how to build a theory of the case capable of withstanding every stage of the criminal proceeding.

Frequently asked questions
What clients usually ask us
Do these offenses only involve public officials?
No. In certain circumstances, private individuals may also become linked to this type of investigation.
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.
At what stage can a lawyer intervene?
Early intervention is often decisive. Having counsel from the preliminary investigation allows timely strategic decisions, the preservation of evidence and the proper protection of the client’s rights throughout the proceeding.
