Arrested In Spain? Outstanding Arrest Warrant? We Can Help

Many British people travel abroad on holiday and give little thought to the laws and the legal system of the country they are visiting, assuming that everything is probably the same as at home, particularly if they are holidaying in Europe. This can and does, of course, lead to misunderstandings, particularly if there is a language barrier, and it is not at all uncommon for a tourist to be arrested without having a clear idea of the offence.  There can be few experiences that are more upsetting than being arrested with little or no understanding of the situation and no clear way of finding any help.

Giambrone's criminal team Spain point out that many European countries do not tolerate some types of behaviour or dress that is commonplace in the UK, for example, dress codes in the street, in some parts of Spain for example, including Barcelona, it is illegal to wear bikinis or shorts in the street away from the beach.
