More than 400 artworks were siezed from the homes belonging to the man at the centre of the Malaya corruption case in Marbella.
Diario Sur newspaper reports that the fabulous art collection including Picassos, Mirós, Tàpies and others, which belongs to the man at the centre of the Marbella corruption case ‘Malaya’, Juan Antonio Roca, is in fact no more than a collection of fakes.
During the Malaya operation more than 400 artworks were recovered from the several houses owned by Roca, but now the works are considered to be worth no more than between 2000 and 6000 € each.
It seems that among all the artwork impounded there is nothing of genuine value.
