Fraud and cybercrime

Fraud and cybercrime lawyer in Barcelona

With online fraud, time is money: the sooner it is reported and the bank put on notice, the better the chance of freezing the funds and getting them back.

We bring claims against banks and platforms when they cannot show strong authentication was used, and act as private prosecutor in criminal fraud proceedings.

Has your account been emptied or your identity stolen?

The first 48 hours are decisive. We reply the same day.

How we can help

We handle both the claim against the bank and the criminal case. If any of this has happened to you, get in touch.

Bank fraud and online scams

Unauthorised transfers, purchases that never arrive, bogus investments. We claim against the bank for failing its duty of care and, in parallel, pursue criminal proceedings against those responsible. Speak to a criminal lawyer

Phishing and identity theft

Texts and emails imitating your bank, calls posing as its fraud team. What matters is proving that strong authentication was absent, or was obtained by deception — that is what obliges the bank to refund you. Speak to a criminal lawyer

Unauthorised access to accounts and devices

Someone getting into your email, social media or phone, often from your own circle. Under Spanish law this is the offence of unlawful disclosure of private information and carries a custodial sentence. Speak to a criminal lawyer

Cyberstalking

Sustained harassment through social media, messaging or email. We document the pattern rather than the isolated message, because that is what proves the offence. Speak to a criminal lawyer

Online threats and extortion

Including sextortion: threats to release intimate images unless you pay. The rule is simple — do not pay and do not delete anything, because deleted material is evidence lost. Speak to a criminal lawyer

Unlawful sharing of data, photos or video

Publishing intimate images without consent, even where they were obtained with it. We demand immediate takedown from the platform and act as private prosecutor. Speak to a criminal lawyer

Card, transfer and cryptocurrency fraud

Unrecognised charges, crypto investment scams and fake brokers. With crypto, tracing is a technical exercise and it pays to act before the funds are split across wallets. Speak to a criminal lawyer

Which situation are you in?

Is the bank refusing to refund you?

The bank must prove you authorised the payment with strong authentication. If it cannot, the refund is its responsibility. We prepare the claim and, if needed, the court action. Speak to a criminal lawyer

Are you being blackmailed with intimate images?

Do not pay and do not delete anything. We preserve the evidence, demand the content is taken down, and file the complaint with everything documented. Speak to a criminal lawyer
