As your money laundering attorney in Málaga, Orozco y Asociados takes on criminal defense with absolute technical rigor, protecting both your personal freedom and the continuity of your business.
The freezing of bank accounts and assets brings your life and your business to a standstill.

The offense of money laundering under the Spanish Penal Code
In procedural practice, the Spanish Penal Code penalizes money laundering in its multiple forms. This includes the acquisition, conversion, or transfer of assets known to originate from illicit funds (so-called dirty money).
Courts demand highly specialized technical defense to account for the lawful handling of cash, international wire transfers, and real estate transactions. As leading specialist attorneys, we audit the traceability of your finances to dismantle the prosecution's case from the investigation phase, strictly applying the procedural guarantees of the Spanish Code of Criminal Procedure.
Technical defense in White-Collar Criminal Law
White-collar criminal law demands expert attorneys. A money laundering investigation rarely arises in isolation. In the corporate sector, charges are typically linked to predicate or underlying offenses. Our law firm handles these related violations with full technical competence:
- Tax fraud and offenses against the Public Treasury and Social Security.
- Embezzlement offenses and fraudulent asset concealment in insolvency proceedings.
- Corporate offenses (including breach of fiduciary duty and accounting fraud).
- Cybercrime linked to the misappropriation and diversion of funds.
Corporate regulatory compliance (Compliance)
Prevention is the best strategy. As leading criminal defense attorneys, we provide preventive corporate legal counsel to ensure regulatory compliance.
Regulatory compliance programs are designed to prevent companies from being used as vehicles for money laundering, fraud, or terrorist financing. We implement rigorous due diligence protocols that shield directors and executives from criminal liability in the face of inspections by financial regulators.
Connection to drug trafficking and organized crime
In Málaga city, the Costa del Sol, and Vélez-Málaga, asset investigations are frequently tied to large-scale cases involving drug trafficking and alleged membership in a criminal organization.
These cases substantially increase sentencing exposure and demand an attorney with a high capacity for rapid response. Our criminal defense lawyers design an aggressive strategy to challenge searches, wiretaps, and asset-tracing operations obtained in violation of fundamental rights.
Do not face a financial assets hearing without the oversight of elite legal counsel.
