Fernando del Valle, and 18 others are accused of money laundering and other charges
The Prosecutors’ Office has rejected a request from the defence to annul the Ballena Blanca money laundering case, based in the offices of the Chilean lawyer, Fernando Del Valle, in Marbella.His defence team, and lawyer Horicaio Oliva, had claimed that the evidence was ‘illicit’, as the instruction judge, Miguel Angel Torres, had merely gone on a fishing expedition. But the Anti-Corruption Delegate for Málaga, Juan Carlos López Caballero, rejected that claim and called for the case to continue.
Another of the defence lawyers, José Carlos Aguilera, who is defending one of the notaries in the case, launched a harsh attack on the instruction judge, accusing him of bringing the seizure of massive amounts of documentation into fashion.
The case against Del Valle and 18 others resumed on Monday after a five week break for all the parties to study the case summary of more than 200,000 sheets of documentation. This included the details of all the clients in the Del Valle office upto March 2005 when the police raided the premises.
