Your post has been brought to my attention and I can assure that “rumours of my death are greatly exaggerated”. I tend not to use “Eye on Spain” any more since as far as “Hills” is concerned the caution I have previously indicated to that “site” have been dismissed as “rubbish” by the likes of “Jackie from Hove” and “Rough Diamond” … I bet they wish they had listened to me now! With regards to Solera I know most of those involved and prefer to communicate with them by email; indeed I only use the Forum if it is to highlight some of the irregularities of the Authorities and the Banks. Anyway … since you have asked I will tell you what my situation is.
I have achieved a Civil Sentence against Solera and an outstanding “Querella” against Rafael; the first stage in this convoluted Spanish Legal process was heard on 12th April when he had to concede before the Judge THAT HE WAS GUILTY OF FRAUD! My Lawyers will have placed before the Courts on Friday … maybe Monday … papers suggesting that there is no requirement for a trial since Rafael has already admitted his guilt. He has tried to blame Mey, Maria, Pilar, Antonio and TO ME DIRECTLY Richard Cummins. What he already has offered to me personally are several properties in settlement but this is not acceptable. My Lawyers have offered him the alternative of a Mortgage of in excess of €250K against his own property but because he feels it is Linara’s he is attempting to resist this. However, I have documentation which has been shared with the Guardia Civil that proves that all three of the partners have NOT paid for their properties and so they belong to the Company … Solera. Additionally, I have an embargo in place against the €1million held as security by the Murcia Town Hall but … surprise surprise … the Council itself is nearly Bankrupt! The bottom line is that I am satisfied that I have enough options in place to resolve this matter. My case of “Fraud” is further advanced in legal terms than the current cases which have resulted in the imprisonment of Martinez and Alguilera . They are in prison simply because the Judge felt they were likely to flee the country and with possible sentences of around 16 years, NOT believing that they do not know where the money is hidden he clearly felt that Prison was the best place for them! With my case Rafael is facing … as a SECOND FRAUD CASE … is facing an additional +-6 years … maybe he should have thought about that before together with Richard (as HE TOLD ME) stealing my property / cash!
What the recent “incarceration” of Martinez and Alguilera has highlighted is the potential involvement of third parties. A highly incriminating document has been given to the Guardia Civil which details a great many of the actions taken to hide the companies assets. This document has, I understand, been signed and witnessed. It is already fairly common knowledge that Antonio entrusted some of his cash to two prominent individuals on the development of El Trampolin … one of these individuals has, I understand, now “purchased” the garage / villa (Plot 135) … and it does rather beg the question as to what Rafael has done with the cash or has he simply entrusted it to this individual in the hope that he can avoid the inevitable! From reading the newspaper reports I notice that when Rafael’s home was searched a “Glock handgun was found” … ironically this same individual who has obtained Plot 135 to my certain knowledge posses guns since I was present (with another person) when he himself was assembling an AK47 Assault rifle supposedly for use on / by Antonio together with bullet proof vests!
Yes it would appear that the net is starting to close very tightly around these thieves and hopefully their associates. As for Rafael he has time to reflect whilst in Prison upon the money he has stolen from me and has a careful “balance” to weigh up … 6 years or €300K … for me that would be no contest. Remember my case is VERY different to the enormous fraud being investigated at Hills. My case is solely against Rafael and I am ONE and not 1500! He has already now admitted fraud in my case … albeit stating that Richard Cummins had the money … and that is that … FRAUD IS FRAUD … case proven!
As for those living on Solera I wish you all well but be very careful with whom you associate. There are three obvious “crooks” on the site but with several associates … keep your friends close but your enemies closer!
All of the above has been reported to the Guardia Civil during a lengthy interview and it is interesting to note that as recently as last week they appeared to be acting upon some of the information received by removal of vehicles parked by the illegal apartments! Finally, the same information and that relating to CAM Bank and the Mortgage fraud has also been brought to their attention. To those of you on Phase 2 this may be good news”
