We study the causality relation in the $3$-dimensional anti-de Sitter space AdS and its conformal boundary $mbox{Ein}_2$. To any closed achronal subset $Lambda$ in $mbox{Ein}_2$ we associate the invisible domain $E(Lambda)$ from $Lambda$ in AdS. We show that if $Gamma$ is a torsion-free discrete group of isometries of AdS preserving $Lambda$ and is non-elementary (for example, not abelian) then the action of $Gamma$ on $E(Lambda)$ is free, properly discontinuous and strongly causal. If $Lambda$ is a topological circle then the quotient space $M_Lambda(Gamma) = Gammaackslash{E}(Lambda)$ is a maximal globally hyperbolic AdS-spacetime admitting a Cauchy surface $S$ such that the induced metric on $S$ is complete. In a forthcoming paper we study the case where $Gamma$ is elementary and use the results of the present paper to define a large family of AdS-spacetimes including all the previously known examples of BTZ multi-black holes.
