The Mirador Group website.

Jesús Gotardo Rodríguez contends that he is also a victim of the alleged fraud carried out by the Mirador group.

The owner of the Las Palmeras Properties company, Jesús Gotardo Rodríguez, who is charged with fraud and illegal enrichment linked to the sale of homes promoted by the Mirador group which are still to be built, has been granted bail after being arrested by police at the request of a judge in Madrid.

32 people have been confirmed to be allegedly affected by the fraud in six different Mirador developments, although the Citizen’s Defender in Málaga, Francisco Guitiérrez, told El País that the number of those affected could be more than 800 in total.

The defence claim is that Jesús Gotardo acted as a mere intermediary and he also considers himself a victim of the promoter, Mirador Group, with whom he had a commercial agreement.

In one case the promoter accepted payments for flats in Vélez-Málaga which lacked any building licence and which should have been completed by now and there are other promotions affected in Fuente Piedra, Benalmádena, Rincón de la Victoria and Villanueva del Rosario. There are also similar cases outside Málaga province in Loja, Granada and Almería.
