Hello,
I’m seeking general advice about an incident that took place in Spain in May *. I was interviewed by police but not charged or asked to stay in the country, and I returned home to the UK the same day.
Since then, I’ve had no contact from Spain and have travelled internationally without issue. I would like a lawyer’s view on whether I might face any legal risk if I return to Spain now.
Could you please let me know whether one of your solicitors could advise me on this,

Why’s there a concern
Case Rating: *
Hi ****, the concern mainly arises from any potential unresolved legal matters or pending investigations related to the incident. Even if you weren't charged initially, ongoing investigations could potentially create issues. Consulting a solicitor with knowledge of Spanish law ensures you have the most accurate understanding of your situation.

Thanks. From what I understand, under Article * of the Ley de Enjuiciamiento Criminal, investigations that don’t lead to charges within a year (or eighteen months if classed as complex) are automatically archived unless the judge formally extends them.
Since my interview in Spain was in May *, I’ve had no contact from any court or police and have travelled internationally without any issues. That seems to mean the case was archived and there’s no active investigation or warrant.
Would you agree that returning to Spain now should be completely safe?
Case Rating: *
Based on your understanding of Article * and the time elapsed, it seems likely that the case may have been archived. However, for complete certainty regarding your legal status in Spain, consulting a solicitor with expertise in Spanish law would be beneficial.
