Ballena Blanca money laundering case ready for sentencing: "accused is the Chilean lawyer based in Marbella, Fernando del Valle, who faces a possible 17 years in prison and a fine of 36 million € for the millions of Euros allegedly laundered.

Speaking in the court this Tuesday, del Valle said that in life, ‘I have committed many errors, but I have never committed any crimes’, and spoke of the thousands of hours which he said have been wasted on the case by hundreds of people.

He said he was convinced that the court would recognise his innocence, despite the charges against him which, as EFE reports, he claims to be the result of an agreement between the ‘police as the state’s oppressor, the prosecution service and a judge who many times forgot that his function was subject to the law’.

The Marbella ConspiracyThe Ballena Blanca investigation first hit the news with a raid in March 2005 on Fernando del Valle’s Marbella offices. More than 50 people were taken into custody at the time."

Another of the defence lawyers, José Carlos Aguilera, who is defending one of the notaries in the case, launched a harsh attack on the instruction judge, accusing him of bringing the seizure of massive amounts of documentation into fashion.
