    You have been summoned to give a statement at the Public Prosecutor's Office (Fiscalía) and you do not know in what capacity.

  • 02

    You have detected internal fraud and need to investigate it without destroying the evidence.

  • 03

  • 04

    SUNAT referred a case to the Public Prosecutor's Office for an alleged tax crime.

  • 05

    You want to implement a compliance program before the problem occurs, not afterward.

Concrete deliverables, not promises

  • Written defense strategy, with the theory of the case and the evidence supporting it
  • Briefs filed with the Public Prosecutor's Office or the Judiciary, with proof of filing
  • A documented compliance program, when the engagement is preventive

What clients usually ask us about this area

  • With an attorney, always, and without exception even if you are told that it is a mere formality. The first thing to determine is in what capacity you are being summoned: witness, person under investigation or injured party. That capacity can change during the proceeding itself, and whatever you state stands.

  • Yes. Tax fraud is a criminal offense under Decreto Legislativo 813 and SUNAT may file a criminal complaint. For that reason, when a tax audit shows signs of simulation or of transactions that are not genuine, the tax defense and the criminal defense should be coordinated from day one.

  • Yes. Ley 30424 governs the administrative liability of legal entities for certain offenses, and having a prevention model implemented and operating is a factor that is taken into account. Implementing it after the complaint is filed helps far less.
