You've committed a crime and you've got a criminal record. As you're illegally present in Spain, we're going to begin deportation proceedings against you.
OK. Are you able to pay for a lawyer's services?
What will the counsel do?
In that case, you'll receive free legal aid and you'll be assigned a court-approved counsel.
They'll act as your legal representative. They'll give you information and advice throughout the court proceedings.
I want to go home.
You can't. You're under arrest.
You can't detain me for more than 72 hours.
We know, but the judge has ordered that precautionary measures be taken, so you'll be taken to a detention centre until you receive your deportation order.
I want my passport back.
No, we're going to keep hold of it for the moment.
OK then, give me a receipt to show that you've taken it.
OK.
