The case is based in the village of Lebrilla, Murcia.

At least five arrests have been made in the latest case of real estate corruption in Spain, this time in Librilla, Murcia.
Among those arrested is the ex civil servant Luis Cano García add his wife, with a town hall technician.

The investigation is being carried out by Instruction Court 6 in Murcia, investigating possible crimes of bribery, perversion of the course of justice and of deals prohibited for public workers in the Librilla Town Hall.

A search has also been carried out in the offices of the Presidency of the Murcia Regional Government where Sr. García worked, as well as in the Librilla Town Hall and the offices of a local municipal company in both Librilla and Los Alcázares. Some private homes have also been searched.

The case is thought to be linked to a complaint made by the Socialist PSOE party last year about the adjudication of building work on 30 sites and worth more than six million Euros to the Acadi S.L. company.

Librilla only has a population of 4,225 and is governed by the Partido Popular Mayor, José Martínez García. He was accused back in 2005 of paying two facturas worth 237,000 € to two building companies for work which was not carried out.
