These experts will share their insights on how to investigate and understand complex financial issues worldwide. If your business has already encountered problems, they will provide strategies to minimize damage and maximize recovery, ensuring you can protect and recover your assets effectively.

Build Essential Connections

No matter your role in high-value international finance, collaboration is essential. Our conference provides a luxury environment where you can learn, network, and conduct business—all while enjoying your time. Connect with professionals who can help you now and in the future, creating a powerful support network.

Protect Your Interests

Fraudsters fear OffshoreAlert because we expose their schemes, assist law enforcement in prosecuting them, and help asset recovery attorneys reclaim their ill-gotten gains. Our impact is evident in testimonials from fraudsters themselves, who have seen their operations significantly hindered by our work. Join us in Spain to discover how we achieve these results.

Learn from Exclusive Speakers

Hear from industry leaders who offer insights you won't find anywhere else. Highlights include:
  • Miriam Company: A lawyer who represented music star Shakira against Spanish tax fraud charges.
  • Xavi Estrada: A former La Liga football referee who will discuss bribery and corruption allegations involving FC Barcelona.
  • Rui Pinto: A Portuguese whistleblower behind major tax investigations into football stars like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, as well as English Premier League rule breaches involving Manchester City FC.

Buying Silence: The Rise of Lawfare (Incl. Against Catalan Politicians)

In this session, lawyers David Hooper and Jorge Angell will discuss the growth of Lawfare - where  states, oligarchs, kleptocrats, fraudsters and politicians from Russia, the former Soviet Republics, the USA, Malta, Germany, Sweden and Malaysia use the law, their financial muscle and criminal means to try to silence their critics.  This is the aggressive world of SLAPP actions.    Victims are writers, investigative journalists, newspapers and the general public. David Hooper will describe what it is like to be the victim of hacking and a SLAPP action and how research  shows that hacking and the use of Pegasus has increased. Jorge Angell will explain the importance of the legal actions against Catalan politicians for an alleged conspiracy to break up the Spanish territory and secure independence for Catalonia.

Rui Pinto & William Bourdon Present: The 'Football Leaks' Financial Scandals That Rocked European Soccer

Poniente I & II

In this session, Portuguese activist and whistleblower Rui Pinto and his French attorney, William Bourdon, will discuss Pinto's creation of the 'Football Leaks' website in 2015 to expose "the principal protagonists in the dishonest football industry" and Pinto's subsequent arrest and criminal prosecution.

The site shone light on the murky and secretive world of football finance by revealing player contracts, financial documents, confidential emails, and other information that triggered criminal tax fraud prosecutions against several top players, including Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo; rules breach charges against English football club Manchester City, and even led to the reopening of a sexual assault investigation into Cristiano Ronaldo in the United States.
