The Region’s fourth-largest municipality, some ten kilometres from the capital along the N-301, with a strong agri-industrial and canning sector and sustained residential growth.
24-hour assistance for detainees, defence at the investigation and trial stages, and service in the main European languages. Judicial district of Molina de Segura.
Criminal proceedings for events occurring in Molina de Segura are heard before the courts based in the town itself, within the structure of Courts of First Instance (Tribunales de Instancia) established by Organic Law 1/2025.
In addition to Molina de Segura, the judicial district comprises the municipalities of Alguazas, Archena, Ceutí, Lorquí and Las Torres de Cotillas. The most serious offences are tried before the Provincial Court of Murcia.
An arrest made in any of the six municipalities of the district leads to the detainee being brought before the Investigating Section of the Court of First Instance based in Molina de Segura.
Proximity to the capital does not transfer jurisdiction. This is worth stressing because it is a common source of confusion: events occurring within the municipal boundaries of Murcia fall under the judicial district of Murcia (which also includes Alcantarilla, Beniel and Santomera), even though the continuity of the metropolitan area makes the boundary imperceptible on the ground.
The canning and agri-food sector of the Vega Media rests largely on family-based companies. As a result, a significant share of proceedings originates in disputes between business partners rather than in criminal conduct in the strict sense.
The line between a commercial breach and a criminal offence is especially thin here. Much of the defence work consists precisely in arguing that the dispute belongs to the civil or commercial sphere: mere disagreement over management, or breach of shareholders’ agreements, does not in itself amount to the offence of unfair administration.
When the company’s crisis precedes the complaint, the prosecution is usually built on the concealment of assets from creditors and on the filing of incomplete statements of assets in enforcement proceedings.
The defence here demands rigorous accounting work, not just legal argument: proving the genuine economic rationale of the disputed transactions and dissociating them from any fraudulent purpose is, in practice, the crux of the proceedings. An independent economic expert report, filed at the investigation stage, changes the procedural position far more than any written submission.
Breach of the powers to manage another party’s assets, exceeding those powers and causing loss to the assets managed.
Appropriating, to the detriment of another, money or goods received on deposit, commission or in custody.
Altering the accounts or other corporate documents in a manner capable of causing financial loss.
Disposing of assets so as to delay, hinder or prevent the effectiveness of an attachment or enforcement proceedings.
Failing to provide the required safety measures in industrial activity, seriously endangering the worker’s integrity.
Occupation of a property that is not a home, common in vacant residential developments.
The investigation is conducted by the courts based in Molina de Segura, within the structure of Courts of First Instance in force since Organic Law 1/2025. The judicial district also covers Alguazas, Archena, Ceutí, Lorquí and Las Torres de Cotillas.
No. Territorial jurisdiction is determined by the place where the events occurred. The urban contiguity between the two municipalities does not transfer it: events occurring within the boundaries of Murcia fall under the judicial district of Murcia.
The dividing line lies in intent and in exceeding the powers of administration. Breach of shareholders’ agreements or disagreement over management is not enough. A prior accounting and documentary analysis is essential before assuming the matter has criminal potential, whether you are considering prosecuting or need to defend yourself.
What is assessed is the purpose of the transaction and its economic rationality: price, destination of the funds, timing relative to the debt claimed, and whether or not a demonstrable business reason existed. The accounting records contemporaneous with the transaction are the central evidence.
Police detention may not exceed the time strictly necessary and, in any event, the detainee must be released or brought before a judge within seventy-two hours.
The summons or police report; any court decisions served on you; the annual accounts, minutes of general meetings, contracts and bank movements linked to the events; and relevant electronic communications, preserved in their original format.
If you have been arrested, summoned as a suspect or need to bring a private prosecution in proceedings in Molina de Segura, consult us before making any statement.
