The Town Hall in Estepona has started proceedings against the Ex-President of the local Partido Popular for building work carried out on his house.

Ignacio Mena, who is also the PP’s spokesman on the council, was granted permission to build an open porch, but the Town Hall says their inspectors discovered that a closed-in construction had instead been built, with a 40 square metre room built above it.

EFE reports that Mena could face a fine of more than 400,000 € for a serious infraction for the extension which has been built onto his house.
