Complaint to Spain’s Judicial Council

Written By Graeme Walker

Over the past four years, I attempted — repeatedly and in good faith — to report what I believe to be serious criminal conduct within a residential community near Estepona, Spain. Despite providing detailed evidence, including documents, recordings and forensic material, my efforts to obtain a fair hearing have been consistently blocked or ignored by local institutions.

I have faced:

  • Unjustified dismissals of complaints by multiple courts;

  • Refusals by police to accept or forward reports of criminal activity;

  • Systemic barriers to accessing justice, including language discrimination and procedural obstructions;

  • And what appears to be use of SLAPP tactics (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation) to silence and intimidate.

In April 2025, I submitted this formal complaint to the Consejo General del Poder Judicial — Spain’s top judicial oversight body — requesting an independent investigation into the conduct of several Estepona courts and the National Police.

My letter outlines in detail the pattern of alleged misconduct, institutional failures and apparent complicity of certain actors in obstructing due process. It is a sobering account of what happens when the very systems meant to protect the rule of law appear instead to shield abuse and suppress dissent. This matter raises questions about local governance and integrity of legal processes in Spain — particularly for foreign residents and whistleblowers.

Thank you for reading.
