The owner of the massive Marina d’Or development on the coast of Valencia, Jesús Ger, has been charged with perversion of the course of justice and influence peddling. He will have to appear before the judge on Monday.
The development is described as the largest vacation and holiday resort in Europe. The prosecution alleges that this complex of hotels and tourist facilities, near to Orpresa del Mar, does not have the approval of the Spanish Coastal Authority.
A 350,000 square metre extension to the site was also allegedly granted in an irregular way.
