Complaint
The complaint is regulated in articles 259 to 269 of the LECrim and consists of informing a judicial body or Authority of the commission of a crime .
Most crimes are public offenses, so anyone with the capacity to understand and report them can file a complaint. However, certain crimes are only prosecutable upon complaint by the injured party (for example, the crime of damage caused by gross negligence), and in such cases, the injured party has the right to file a complaint.
Regarding the complaint
Criminal lawyers in Barcelona are free to agree on fees with their clients as they see fit, as well as the payment method, which can be personalized and flexible.
