Preliminary proceedings, abbreviated procedures and summaries increase
According to the report, in 2022, 1,497,808 preliminary investigation procedures were initiated, which represents a growth of 2.24% compared to the previous year . The abbreviated procedures initiated also grew by 8.6% and ordinary or summary procedures by 16%. Minor trials account for 49% of the accusations attended by the Public Prosecutor's Office. Another notable fact: 75% of the sentences were issued with pronouncements in accordance with the claims of the Public Prosecutor's Office . According to the attorney general. “The increase in sentences seems to reflect that the effects of the health crisis have been overcome, with the corresponding increase in accusations.”
In his speech, García marked the fight against gender violence as a priority line . In 2023 there have been 42 completed femicides and 26 attempted ones. The number of Email Data complaints, however, has decreased to 19% of fatalities, compared to 44.9% the previous year. From 2009 to 2022, more than two million complaints have been filed in Spain for violence against women. The prosecutor has also warned of the rise in crimes motivated by LGTBIphobia , which occupy first place in sentences handed down for crimes of hate and discrimination, followed by racism and xenophobia.
The report also addresses the vulnerability of foreigners and the different legal responses to the phenomenon of migration. “The administrative situation of irregularity leads the foreign person to marginality, poverty and social exclusion, which causes them to end up being objects of exploitation. It is illustrative that 98% of the victims of human trafficking in our country are foreigners ” or that “of the 50 victims of feminicide in 2022, 14 were foreigners.” Álvaro García has also highlighted the role of the Prosecutor's Office in the protection of unaccompanied minors in a situation of helplessness. “Behind acronyms that stigmatize them, there are thousands of boys and girls fleeing realities of poverty, misery, war and persecution.” In this sense, “memory warns of the danger of projecting a negative aspect of diversity .”
