MARBELLA CLUB

The ex Municipal Real Estate Assessor in Marbella Town Hall, Juan Antonio Roca, now at the centre of the Malaya case on corruption, has offered for properties in Marbella to pay Marbella Town Hall after being found guilty in another case, ‘Caso Saqueo’. He was sentenced to six years and ten months in the case and he and two others sentenced with him, José Luis Sierra who was judicial advisor to Jesús Gil, and the accountant Jorge Castel, have each to pay 23 million € compensation to Marbella Town Hall, in addition to whatever jail sentences they have been given. Reports say Roca wants to clear this debt so that he can benefit from improved conditions in jail. So far he has only paid 600,000 € and there talks with the Town Hall on the payment of the rest. The properties offered are the Finca La Caridad in San Pedro Alcántara, a half-built building next to the motorway and the Costa del Sol Hospital, and two plots of land in Urbanisation Las Brisas in Las Chapas, one of which has a heliport which he used to travel to Murcia and Huelva.
