Minutas case alleges that the Sevilla lawyer invoiced Marbella Town Hall for services he never carried out
Minutas case alleges that the Sevilla lawyer invoiced Marbella Town Hall for services he never carried outThe Auditors' Court has belittled the defence strategy of the Sevilla lawyer, and President of the Sevilla Football Club, José María del Nido, who is under investigation in the Málaga Provincial Court in the Minutascase.
Del Nido was paid at least 1.3 million € by Marbella Town Hall between 1999 and 2003 for services which he allegedly never carried out.
He says that he was employed verbally by the late Mayor, Jesús Gil y Gil, to give legal advice to the Ayuntamiento. Records show that the lawyer invoiced 79,929 € for just 21 minutes of work for the Town Hall in 2002.
The prosecutor is demanding 16 years in prison for Del Nido in the case, and now the Auditors Court has commented that it ‘does not consider the realisation of professional services, for which Sr. Del Nido invoiced the Marbella Town Hall and was paid, to be sufficiently accredited’.
It noted that it was a generalised practice in Marbella to pay large amounts of money for irregularly contracted services.
