• Represented Innovex before the Public Prosecutor's Office, for the alleged commission of the crime of Omission of Withholding and Collection Agent. After implementing the defense strategy in which an internal investigation was able to establish that the taxes were paid, but in a different term than the one established by law, we were able to prove before the Prosecutor's Office the non-existence of the crime and therefore the case was closed.


• Represented the directors of AES Chivor for the alleged commission of the crime of Illegal Exploitation of Mineral Deposit. Once we analyzed the background of the case and implemented the defense strategy, we were able to prove before the Prosecutor's Office that the directors and the company have always complied with environmental regulations and have never carried out illegal exploitation. As a result, we were able to get the criminal judge to dismiss the case and determine that there is no crime whatsoever.
