Cancellation of criminal records
A conviction for a crime creates a criminal record. In other words, it is officially documented.
When the perpetrator of a crime is between 14 and 18 years old , the criminal procedure for investigating and prosecuting the offense is different and is regulated by Organic Law 5/2000 on the Criminal Liability of Minors. This procedure is more flexible, aiming to protect the minor and primarily focusing on their rehabilitation and training to prevent future offenses.
