How Bail Works In Spain
A Spanish judge decides whether an accused who is not jailed must post a fianza to stay free. The judge sets the type and amount based on the crime, the person's situation and record, and the risk of flight. A fianza can be personal, a pledge, a mortgage, cash, or a guarantee from a bank or mutual guarantee company.
Article 591 allows a guarantee issued by a credit institution or a sociedad de garantia reciproca.
