Press Appearances

At CBL Abogados we frequently act in matters of particular legal and social significance, many of which attract media attention. In this section we have gathered some of the news reports that have covered our work, mainly in our role as private prosecutor in defence of victims and of the interests of those we represent. All the proceedings referred to are governed by the principle of the presumption of innocence. The information comes from publicly available journalistic sources.

Acusación particular por maltrato animal

"The woman accused of throwing her dogs from an eighth floor adopts another animal while awaiting trial: 'There is a risk'"

Our firm acts as private prosecutor on behalf of one of the animal protection associations party to the proceedings brought against the woman under investigation for the death of her two dogs. During the course of the case we requested, as a precautionary measure, a ban on the keeping of and cohabitation with animals for the duration of the proceedings. The measure was supported by the Public Prosecutor's Office, but was denied by the court, and we therefore filed an appeal for reconsideration and, in the alternative, an appeal before the Provincial Court of Alicante. The proceedings are ongoing.

Private prosecution for sexual assault offences

"Elche photographer arrested for two sexual assaults on two young women at his studio within two weeks"

We represent, as private prosecutor, the two young victims in these proceedings. Although they did not know one another and the events took place on different dates, the investigation revealed a matching modus operandi in both cases. From the outset we accompanied the victims in filing their complaints before the specialist unit of the National Police. Following the arrest of the person under investigation, a restraining order was granted in respect of both women to ensure their protection during the proceedings. The case remains at the investigation stage, pending the reports on the material seized.

Private prosecution before the jury court for murder

"Man arrested after allegedly stabbing another to death in Elche"

We took on the private prosecution and the representation of two relatives of the victim in the proceedings brought over an alleged murder in Elche. Throughout the case we have taken part in the various procedural steps in defence of the interests of those we represent. The proceedings are at an advanced stage, with a date already set for the trial before the jury court. We continue to prepare our involvement ahead of the hearing.

A commitment that goes beyond the courtroom

Each of these cases reflects the approach to law that defines us: rigorous, close, and firm in the defence of those who place their trust in us. Behind every case there are people, and our work goes beyond legal strategy: we stand by those we represent in difficult times and strive to bring the facts to light and to see that the corresponding responsibilities are upheld. If you need advice or would like us to review your case, get in touch with us: we will be glad to help.
