Judge Francisco Javier Urquía, the ex Municipal real estate assessor in Marbella, Juan Antonio Roca, and a third person charged, Arnauld F.A. have been declaring today, Monday, in the court in Granada in a case which is being treated independently from the Malaya case in Marbella.
The prosecutor is asking for three years in prison, a 19 year ban from holding public office and a fine of 213,000 € for the judge who faces charges of perversion of the course of justice, bribery, illegal negotiation with a civil servant and other charges.
Roca and Arnaud face the same prison term, a nine year ban from public office and fines of 177,000 € each in the case which continues on Tuesday with the appearance of 20 witnesses and when some taped phone conversations will also be heard by the court as the case continues.
Meanwhile in Estepona the declarations are continuing in the Astapa case which has arisen from the alleged real estate corruption in the town. The instruction judge has so far kept ten people charged in the case, five of whom including the ex mayor, Antonio Barrientos, are being held on remand in prison.
