Detention may not last longer than necessary and, at most, 72 hours before the person is brought before a judge. Do not make a statement without speaking to your lawyer first: you can request a private interview.

Frequently asked questions
What clients ask us most
Do I have to make a statement if I am arrested?
No. You have the right to remain silent, to refuse to answer some or all questions and not to plead guilty. You also have the right to speak privately with your lawyer before making a statement.
What is a plea agreement (conformidad)?
It means accepting the sentence requested by the prosecution. In a fast-track trial, if you agree before the duty court and the legal requirements are met, the sentence is reduced by one third. We only recommend it after examining the evidence.
Will I have a criminal record?
Only if there is a final conviction. A criminal record can be cancelled once the periods set out in article 136 of the Criminal Code have passed without reoffending.
Can I join the case as a victim if proceedings are already open?
Yes. The law allows you to appear as a private prosecutor before the charges are formally filed. The sooner you do so, the more investigative steps you can request.
