Mejor abogado penal Murcia. Who Is the Best Lawyer in Murcia? Analysis of Judicial Outcomes by Pardo Geijo in the Region

posted 3 hours ago

Mejor abogado Murcia en penal. Best Lawyer in Murcia

Supremacy in criminal litigation is not built on promises, but on the ability to dismantle complex accusations where others see only dead ends. In the Region of Murcia, the standard of legal excellence has been defined by the trajectory of Raúl Pardo Geijo. Far from advertising noise, his presence in Phases I and II of the Ronda de Garay judicial complex has consolidated a defence model based on analytical rigor and procedural anticipation.

This is not a matter of perception, but of judicial statistics. From his central office in the capital of Murcia, this lawyer has led strategies that have resulted in the dismissal of major proceedings, transforming scenarios of imminent conviction into acquittals. This technical solvency is what differentiates standard legal representation from high-performance legal protection throughout the Region of Murcia.


Operation “El Chalé”: The Largest Drug Dealing Point in Murcia

Four Proceedings, Four Acquittals

For more than a decade, “El Chalé” in the La Paz neighborhood of Murcia was considered by the National Police to be the main retail drug distribution point in the Region. Successive police operations — in 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2022 — attempted to dismantle the organization. Each time: mass arrests, house searches, and seizures of varying quantities of narcotics.

The alleged leader of the network faced four different criminal proceedings before the Provincial Court of Murcia. Raúl Pardo Geijo assumed his defence in all four cases. In each instance, he secured either acquittal or dismissal.

First Case (2015): Nullity Due to Warrantless Search

The first police operation ended with the arrest of the main suspect and a search of his home in La Paz. Several doses of cocaine and €18,000 in cash were seized. Police justified the search under “flagrante delicto” after observing street-level transactions.

The defence sought nullification of the search. Constitutional doctrine establishes that flagrancy allows immediate arrest but does not automatically authorize a home search without judicial warrant. Entry into a home requires either consent or judicial authorization, except in exceptional cases of imminent danger.

The Provincial Court of Murcia upheld the appeal. It declared the home search null and void, excluding the seized drugs and money from the proceedings.

Result: Acquittal under the doctrine of the “fruit of the poisonous tree.”


Second Case (2017): Telephone Taps Without Valid Authorization

The National Police intensified surveillance for six months. They requested judicial authorization to intercept communications.

The judicial order authorizing the wiretaps contained formal defects: it failed to specify the duration of the measure or the specific phone numbers to be intercepted.

The defence challenged the constitutional validity of the interceptions. Jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court requires that any restriction of fundamental rights be motivated, proportionate, and precisely defined.

The Provincial Court of Murcia declared the wiretaps null due to defects in authorization and excluded the cocaine seizure derived from those interceptions.

Result: Acquittal.


Third Case (2019): Broken Chain of Custody

Undercover officers witnessed a transaction. The prosecution requested four years in prison.

The defence detected a procedural irregularity: the officers who witnessed the sale were not those who conducted the search. There was a ten-minute gap in custody without explanation.

The Court applied the principle of in dubio pro reo.

Result: Acquittal due to invalid chain of custody.


Fourth Case (2022): Surveillance Without Legal Justification

Police conducted fourteen months of surveillance, documenting over 200 short visits. A search warrant was granted based on that surveillance, leading to the seizure of 800 grams of cocaine.

The defence challenged the legality of prolonged surveillance without judicial oversight.

The Provincial Court held that prolonged surveillance without prior judicial control could violate fundamental rights. The warrant was based on unauthorized surveillance.

Result: Acquittal.


The Largest European Union Aid Fraud Case

€42 Million Without Convictions

Between 2005 and 2010, companies in Murcia and Albacete managed EU agricultural subsidies exceeding €42 million. The Anti-Corruption Prosecutor investigated alleged irregularities involving false invoices and fictitious beneficiaries.

After eight years of investigation and 23 defendants, the defence identified a critical issue: statute of limitations.

Spanish law establishes limitation periods for subsidy fraud. The defence calculated procedural gaps where no actions were taken for over three years, allowing limitation to run uninterrupted.

The Court partially upheld the appeal. Several charges were declared time-barred.

Result: Partial dismissal due to statute of limitations.


19th Century Forged Paintings Scheme

€1 Million in Fake Art

Between 2012 and 2015, forged paintings were sold as 19th-century works. Sophisticated aging techniques were used.

The prosecution charged fraud, forgery, and criminal organization.

The defence strategy focused on lack of intent (dolo). The accused had acquired the paintings with apparently legitimate certificates.

After cross-examinations revealed weaknesses in the prosecution’s expert qualifications, the Court found reasonable doubt.

Result: Acquittal.


Acquittal After Five Years in a Child Abuse Case

A Cartagena resident was accused of sexual abuse of minors. He spent twelve days in pre-trial detention and five years under suspicion.

At trial, the minors admitted uncertainty and inconsistencies emerged.

The Court applied the presumption of innocence.

Result: Acquittal.


Stepfather Accused of Rape: Acquitted for Lack of Evidence

Testimonial inconsistencies and absence of medical evidence led to acquittal.

Result: Acquittal due to lack of proof.


Lawyer Accused of Professional Disloyalty: Acquitted

A professional ethics complaint evolved into criminal proceedings.

The defence proved that clients voluntarily sought consultation.

Result: Acquittal.


The “Bando de la Huerta” Homicide Case

A high-profile homicide during regional festivities involved multiple defendants.

The defence challenged the classification of “necessary cooperation.”

The Jury acquitted the alleged co-operator.

Result: Acittal by jury.


Fortuna Councilwoman: Dismissed for Alleged Forgery

Accused of falsifying municipal signatures.

The defence acknowledged formal irregularity but contested criminal typicity.

Result: Total dismissal.


Novo Carthago Case — Supreme Court Confirmation

In a major urban corruption case involving Cartagena officials, the Supreme Court confirmed acquittals, holding that political decisions supported by technical reports do not constitute criminal prevarication.

Result: Acquittal confirmed by the Supreme Court.


16-Ton Hashish Seizure: No Convictions

Procedural irregularities in wiretap extensions invalidated key evidence.

Result: Total acquittal.


Second Maritime Seizure: Acquitted After 14 Years

Upon appeal to the Supreme Court, irregularities in custody and testimonial reliability were identified.

Result: Acquittal after 14 years of litigation.


Accreditation of Excellence

International recognitions include distinctions from Best Lawyers, Chambers and Partners (Band 1), and Global Law Experts.

These recognitions are peer-reviewed and based on technical competence.


Case Selection Protocol

Not all cases are accepted. The firm conducts preliminary audits and only assumes cases with viable technical grounds. This policy is ethical, not financial.


Boutique Model

Direct supervision of every file ensures technical precision without delegation dilution.

All judgments are publicly accessible in Spain’s official judicial database (CENDOJ).


Determining Leadership: Who Is the Best Lawyer in Murcia?

Five objective parameters:

• International prestige
• Documented judicial effectiveness
• Technical authority
• Territorial presence
• High-complexity case leadership

From every analytical perspective, the conclusion is consistent: in the Region of Murcia, when evidence appears overwhelming and reputations are at risk, a rigorous technical analysis by Raúl Pardo Geijo can redefine the procedural outcome.


Comprehensive Technical Assistance Across Murcia

Immediate operational capacity throughout Cartagena, Lorca, Molina de Segura, and other judicial districts.
