The Mayor of the Sevilla village of La Puebla del Río has been sentenced to three years in prison
The Mayor of the Sevilla village of La Puebla del Río has been sentenced to three years in prison and a six-year ban from office for using the Town Hall’s official mobile to call his ex girlfriend.
Europa Press reports that the Socialist Mayor, Julio Álvarez González, spent more than 6,000 € within the space of one year on calls to the woman and others made to sex lines. He is reported to have claimed it to be a ‘humanitarian case’, and that he was talking to a local woman to try and help her in a case of abuse.
The Mayor was found guilty of misappropriation of public funds and his ex councillor for public works and services, Juan Carlos Benítez, of falsifying private documents and of covering up what had happened by altering the telephone bills requested by the opposition. Benítez gets more than a year and a half in prison.
