Court Case in Press

Following the article which was carried in some of the Spanish press yesterday I am trying to speak with Candido but unfortunately I will away for a short trip from later today. I did however manage to speak with some from the Town Hall and get their slant on the article.

The information I was able to glean from the Town Hall is that neither they, nor Candido or Manolo, have had any information from the courts and the only information available is that which has been published in the press. You may recall that when this case first went before the courts the technical official, who had been involved in the case, Carlos Domingo, gave information to the courts. It is believed that he also has a large number of court actions outstanding against him in the Albox area and may have been offered some sort of deal in return for certain actions by him. The below translated part of the article indicates such.


   "In the act of judgment, two of the defendants, Carlos Domingo BF and technical director of the work of the 12 houses, admitted the facts and in accordance with the penalty showed interested by the prosecutor while the judge decided to replace the sentence of liberty imposed both for twelve months at the rate of twelve fine euros a day.

    For Carlos Domingo BF considered crimes author planning, trespass, and negotiations and prohibited activities as officials once the license requested, issued, "knowing that would later participate in the conduct of the work ", a report that, despite that he was aware that the land was undeveloped, said that the plot had all the conditions laid down in LOUA."

If it is the case that the court has found the Council guilty an immediate appeal will be lodged based on a number of factors, including the above. So as with all things legal in Spain another long wait for clarification can be expected!

The reported sentence for Candido was one of 21 months imprisonment suspended and barred from holding public office for 9 years. Will seek more details tomorrow, if possible.

  1. A shame indeed! The Spanish press say that the twelve houses in question will be demolished. How many are being lived in and how many are Brits?! Un Saludo, Lenox
