Rumour has it that last Friday ( 27th April ) Ana Mula, the Planning Officer at Fuengirola Town Hall was arrested on corruption charges. The specimen charge relates to property in Carvajal, but, allegedly, there  may be further charges concerning Aifos ( again ) and their developments in Torreblanca. The Mayoress has also "allegedly" been implicated in some wrong doing, and whilst there is nothing in the local press at the moment, we have been told to expect "something soon "

Rumours are rife regarding Aifos at the moment. One is that the Cortijo  will be stopped altogether as they have overbuilt on more than one area of the development. Added to the fact that Aifos, reputedly, have financial problems and pending law suits this is not looking too good.

Aifos have been implicated in the Operation Malaya case, and supposedly paid something like 6 million euros in bribes to the bent officials in Marbella. Seems reasonable to expect further revelations about Fuengirola Town Hall.

Time will tell........

I spoke to Christine Mollet at CasaBlanca in Spain this morning and sent her the message dated Wednesday 2nd May "Frustrated Owner and this is her reply:

Dear Sue

I have sent an e mail to Aifos enquiring about the situation in Corijo Torreblanca.  Tomorrow morning I will telephone the corresponding department in Fuengirola.

I called the Town Hall to verify the information that Ana Mula has been arrested and been informed that this information is incorrect and Ana Mula was at work this morning.  I have searched through the Spanish media to find some information and could not find any article about Mrs Mula's arrest of Mrs Ona's (Majoress of Fuengirola)implication in corruption affairs.

Kind regards

Christine Mollet

I have asked her to let me know the outcome of her telephone conversation with the corresponding department in Fuengirola and will come back to you.
