The Third Section of the Contentious-Administrative Chamber has issued a ruling in which it declares that the expenses for the work generated in the investigation of a criminal proceeding , such as the search in a landfill for a body, remains and effects of a crime , must be paid by the Administration competent in matters of justice, without prejudice to the fact that said Administration may later request the judicial body to include them in the costs, which must be decided based on the circumstances of the case.
The resolved case has its origin in an invoice worth 1.4 million euros presented by the company UTE Planta RSU Pinto to the Community of Madrid for the costs of searching for a body, remains and effects of the Phone Number Data crime in a landfill in Pinto, ordered by the Court of Instruction No. 1 of Majadahonda. The General Directorate of Justice and Security of the Community of Madrid returned the invoice presented by the company so that it could be sent to the court that had ordered the search in order to include them in the assessment of costs that was carried out, so that whoever was convicted at the time would take charge.

UTE RSU Pinto Plant appealed the administrative resolution before the Superior Court of Justice of Madrid , which in a ruling upheld its appeal and agreed that the autonomous Administration had to assume the costs of the search in the landfill as these were necessary expenses for operation. implementation and achievement of the objectives of the Administration of Justice.
