The man at the centre of the Malaya corruption allegations will be in court in the case next month
Hacienda tax authority has estimated that the man at the centre of the Malaya corruption case in Marbella, the ex Municipal Real Estate Assessor, Juan Antonio Roca, laundered ‘a minimum of 12.6 million €’ in financial havens.
The number is published in one of the hacienda reports which has discovered accounts in Switzerland, Andorra and the British Virgin Islands, and makes up part of the case summary. Europa Press reports that that Hacienda considers that these accounts were used not only to hide Roca’s assets, but also to launder the amounts so they could be re-introduced into circulation.
Much of the operation was carried out via two companies on the Virgin Islands, Bently Financial LTD, and Kellington Investments INC.
