Drug Trafficking Lawyer
The crime of drug trafficking is regulated under Articles 368 to 378 of the Spanish Penal Code. These regulations aim to protect public health, understood as the set of conditions that guarantee the health of all individuals, and to penalize actions that may endanger it (Supreme Court Judgment No. 409/2013).
As expert drug trafficking lawyers, we provide legal advice and defense for those facing these charges, tailoring the legal strategy to each case to ensure the best legal protection.
How the Penal Code shapes the defense strategy in drug trafficking cases
The legal framework governing drug trafficking outlines a broad range of punishable behaviors, from cultivation and production to distribution and promoting illegal consumption. These provisions are designed not only to penalize unlawful acts but also to safeguard collective well-being and public health.
In legal practice, understanding the nuances of these articles is crucial to building a solid defense. As specialized drug trafficking lawyers, we conduct an in-depth analysis of each case to identify potential aggravating or mitigating factors and any specific circumstances that may impact sentencing or the application of judicial measures.
Ongoing legislative updates and court rulings—such as how the accused’s intent is interpreted or how evidence is assessed—play a decisive role in proceedings. For this reason, a defense adapted to the specifics of each case and the current legal framework is essential to safeguarding the rights of individuals accused of this type of crime.
