Where do i get help. Wrongly accused brit being kept in country on provisional liberty. Has got passport but has to remain there. Where can i get help for them, this case might not come up for months or years. Hes scared to ask British embassy if there is any way he can report to a police station on a regular basis pending possible hearing incase they think he will just leave anyway. They are all spanish and hes scared they might put him in prison to keep him there. Foreign office not helpful. thanks

he wants to see if he can come back to uk until trial if any.

I have found a helpful link, but the information on it is not encouraging, except that there are statutory maximum periods for which someone can be detained in Spain in this way. He really must go to the British consulate to see whether anything can be done. http://72.14.209.104/search?q=cache:c9IyfJ_6hDkJ:www.spainlawyer.com/guialegal/guialegal.cfm%3FIDCAPITULO%3D17040000+provisional+bail+spain&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1

Yes, as all the other responders have said, you need a Representative from the British Embassy to hear the case.
They are there precisely for this reason of aiding British nationals in legal matters such as this. If he has insurance, he could claim on the legal aid it may provide.

Why would he be scarred to request help from the embassy if he's so innocent?
