Juan Antonio Roca had absolute power at Marbella Town Hall: "The main suspect in Marbella’s Malaya corruption case, the former municipal real estate advisor, Juan Antonio, had ‘absolute power’ in every way and in every area of the Town Hall, three of the investigating officers have said.

The officers are from the Costa del Sol’s Organised Crime and Drugs Squad, UDYCO, and were in court on Tuesday as the Malaya hearings continue in Málaga. The proceedings are currently centring on the real estate deal, ‘Crucero Banús’, and the answer from the three witnesses came to questions from the lawyer acting for Marbella Town Hall on whether Roca had a decisive role in the viability of real estate projects.

They also said that building work on the project continued despite halt orders issued by the Andalucía High Court, and warnings from the municipal architect that it did not meet local development plan regulations.

EFE notes that two points the witnesses brought up as deficiencies in the project were that the land had been reclassified from commercial to residential and that there had been an increase in the project’s buildable area."
