Spain: cybercrime court proceedings growth rate 2012-2022

In 2022, court proceedings against cybercrime in Spain grew at a rate of over 3 percent. Despite not being among the highest increases registered for this type of procedure, especially compared to the increases of over 40 percent in 2019 and 2021, the country registered 24,622 court proceedings. Previsouly, due to the modifications in the Spanish Criminal Code of Law, the incorporation of additional types of innovative crimes or changing of preexistent classifications, the rate of proceedings saw a significant reduction in the years of 2016 and 2017.
