Jon Clarke (Publisher & Editor)IT will be the biggest corruption super trial that Spain has ever seen.
The Malaya case – which dates back to March 2006 – is finally coming to court next week.
Expected to take up to two years to complete, some 95 people stand accused in the dock.
As well as Marbella’s real estate assessor, Juan Antonio Roca, there will also be two ex-Mayors of Marbella, Julián Muñoz and Marisol Yagüe.
Roca and his cohorts are accused of accepting more than 33 million euros in bribes between 2002 and 2006 in return for planning permission.
THe parasitic lawyers will make loads of money, courtesy of the Spanish taxpayer and the crims will get a slap on the wrist and then travel first class to their tax havens to enjoy their loot.
As soon as these big corruption cases are all over, one thing is certain. Spain will simply return to the same ways within a few years. Cultures don’t change.
Corruption is not a Spanish trait, no matter how much you insist on it.
Actually more peaceful in Marbella now with so many big-wigs in Court or Jail.
Auto congestion in Marbella is reduced.
