Cándido Trabalón was arrested with two others, his town planning councillor and the owner of the New Horizon Villas company, Antonio López Ramos
The Partido Andalucista Mayor of Zurgena, Cándido Trabalón, has been arrested for allowing the illegal construction of a thousand homes in this small Almeria village with a population of less than 3,000 people. He and the town planning councillor, Manuel Tijeras, face charges of perversion of the course of justice and bribery.

Also detained is the real estate promoter from the company New Horizon Villas, specialists in the British market, Antonio López Ramos.

Investigations into the case started in October 2006 and continue open. Searches were carried on Wednesday in the Zurgena Town Hall and in the offices of four real estate promoters in Zurgena, Albox, Alboleas and Huércal-Overa, together with an architect’s office in Almería and several private homes.

The prosecutor believes that irregularities were carried out in the Town Hall process to award four licences to companies which carried out six local real estate promotions.

This is why those in the know wanted autonomy so very,very badly. Because they knew that they would no longer be answerable to Central Government in Madrid as they always were and they would be able to carry out and get away with all these schemes long before anyone noticed,and should their plans come to light then they would have made millions of Euros by then, changed names and moved on.As for the Mayors and Town Planning Officers involved they are bribed with many millions for "looking the other way" or re-classifying a piece of land and IF they get found out it's been financially worth their while so they don't give a toss!
