sorry, but there are bigger travesties that that in Spain. Here the wrongdoer effectively gets a discount 20% on the damages it has to pay, because the wrongdoer is AEAT/Spanish IRS.
I mean, at least the wrongdoer has to pay and the victim is compensated. Compare it to the Spanish criminal "justice". You get accused of a crime, so you are obliged to hire an attorney (except petty crimes - "delitos leves"), and you are obliged to pay that attorney (exepct if you are poor and cannot afford it). Even if you are found *innocent*. You are effectively fined for the "crime" of being accused. And the state indirectly gets its cut, too - the attorney likely pays VAT and your payment raises his income and hence his income tax. Because errors have to be rewarded. Worse, I think (but this is me theorizing, not aware of any such case) it could lead to a situation when an innocent person pleads guilty to avoid the trial and some attorney fees - the prison time of less than 2 years may be conditionally postponed, so the innocent criminal may avoid prison altogether.
I am dreaming of commiting a crime against all attorneys. I wonder who would defend me then as an attorney - one of my victims? Surely he would be very effective and motivated /s. But not sure if it is possible to commit such crime, I though something like provoking hatred against all attorneys would count (art. 510 of Criminal Code), but seems occupation is not a protected class - it is crime to incite hatred against Christians or Spaniards, but not against attorneys. And crime against all Spaniards means they could find a foreign-born attorney with license in Spain - not a Spaniard, so not my victim.
