El País has revealed that the judge at Court No. 2 in Orihuela has reactivated the investigation into the hundreds of properties which were built illegally in Catral on land classified as unsuitable for development.

The situation there led the Valencia government to intervene in 2006 and remove town planning responsibility from the local Town Hall. The ex Socialist Mayor of Catral, José Manuel Rodríguez Leal, is one of the 18 suspects in the case, and is charged with planning crimes for the 1,200 properties which were illegally built, allegedly with licences which had been granted for agricultural constructions or fencing.

El País indicates that the investigating judge was due to question seven witnesses, including promoters and purchasers of some of the properties, on Tuesday.
