Hi folks, Just wondered if peration Malaya, the corruption scandal affecting most of Spain including the Balearics and Canaries, has had any effect on people, most particularly those buying in Almeria province. Do you know of any areas under investigation or any developments that have been orderd to be demolished? I'm slightly worried especially about the ruling regarding population increases being capped at 30% of 2002 figures, Vera, for instance, being capped at 30,000. I have read that Vera is one of the areas under investigation along with Los Gallardos and others. There are an awful lot of people being arrested for corrupt activity and this could affect 1,000's of homes - even some that have been built for years. People have bought what they thought were legally built homes only to find that the permissions were never granted from the Junta in Andalucia, only corrupt local permissions. There is hope, though, in the ruling regarding the Centro Comercial in Roquetas, a judge has overturned a previous court order to demolish it - in Marbella they have not ben so lucky yet and there are reports of some 850 developments with demolition orders on them. Any more, local, info would be most useful.

From El Mundo (Google translation) this morning:
Former advisor to Marbella town and main accused in the trial of the Malaya case, Juan Antonio Roca, has acknowledged for the first time ever, having received more than 3.5 million in bribes, which he calls as "advice" to a series of projects developed empresasrios by costasoleña locally.
To prosecutor's questions, the lead defendant has admitted a payment of over a million euros of well-known bullfighting Fidel San Román, also charged, and € 740,000 of the company Construcciones Salamanca. It also supports 1.8 million that was donated by the company Aifos, the main perpetrators also sit on the bench.
Apart from the confession, the most important is that it explicitly recognizes the truth Roca Accounting Advisors Maras, the company behind which hid all their finances.
No less important is that Roca has acknowledged payments to council members who took part in the tripartite government team formed by defectors from the PSOE and the GIL, and mayors of PA training unseated the Mayor Julián Muñoz in August 2003.
"Jesus Gil told me to come to a financial arrangement with them to hold the GIL party until the election" of 2007. Ensures that your partner was the now fugitive Carlos Fernández.
"I was giving money and rewarding part of this agreement," confessed Roca. On the origin of such payments has ensured that the funds came from "agreements with employers." Of such payments "to reward drew the council and also for my benefit."
The wheels grind oh so slowly ...

more information
Malaya case of an employer's confession gives a twist to the trial of Malaya Rock has begun to admit that he received payments of approximately 3.5 million euros of three entrepreneurs with real estate interests in Marbella in response to an alleged "advice." This is Aifos, Construcciones Salamanca-the late Emilio Rodríguez Bugallo, and Fidel San Román. Roca has also admitted to be the beneficiary of income from other business defendants, although attributed to private business with them. Payments totaling 33.3 million euros, according to prosecutors.
Regarding payments to exediles, Roca has admitted that it was "bonuses" that were intended to "stick together and that there was no turncoat or abandonment of the discipline." The exasesor has admitted that he paid the spokespersons of the groups that formed the tripartite, Marisol Yague (GIL), Isabel García Marcos (expelled from the PSOE) and the fugitive Carlos Fernández, the Andalusian Party. The latter devised the system that the council received more responsibility on more substantial.
However, Roca has taken great care to link these payments to the achievement of illegal rulings favorable to their interests. Judicial sources say the exasesor is "blurring the crime of bribery", meaning that you apply a kind of bribe payments improper care, charge, and the former president who is accused of Valencia Francisco Camps. Both prosecutors and sources Rock denied the defense that the confession resulting from an agreement between them.
104 of the trial session began with a surprise. Eusebio Sierra Galician businessman, promoter Proincosta administrator, acknowledged that in December 2002 paid "at the request of Rock" a total of 60,000 euros in exchange for speeding up the recognition of a debt of EUR 6.7 million the City had with your company.
This payment was reflected in the Maras Advisors Excel file containing the alleged secret accounts Roca. With this confession, Sierra accepts a sentence of six months in prison and fines of 48,600 euros for the crime of bribery to unjust act. At the time of his confession, the result of a defense agreement with the prosecutor, Sierra was exposed to a request for a penalty of two years in prison and 120,000 euro fine.
Sierra's agreement is the fourth that achieved with business tax payments charged to Roca. In early October, Ismael Perez Pena industrial Burgos also acknowledged having paid 180,000 euros to Roca and three luxury cars to Marisol Yague exalcaldesa exchange for a reduction in the sentence. Later joined the pact the son of Perez and entrepreneur Carmelo Peña Armenta, involved in the operation.
The new confession as evidence underpins the validity of so-called Maras files, which consist of entrepreneurs Rock payments in exchange for favors urban totaling 33.3 million euros.
Following the announcement of the pact has started urban exasesor statement. The anti-corruption prosecutor Juan Carlos Lopez Caballero has begun to ask for his arrival to the city of Marbella. Roca has said, as it did at the beginning of the hearing, in December 2010, that "never" had "Marbella urban management."
