It’s been revealed that Juan Antonio Yagüe, a former councillor in Marbella and brother to the ex Mayor, Marisol Yagüe, is in custody following his return to Spain from Venezuela. He’s been the subject of an international search warrant since fleeing the country in 2006 and it’s understood the ex councillor gave himself up at the Spanish consulate last Friday and flew home to Spain under a safe conduct order. He was arrested in Madrid and is now in prison in Soto de Real, El País reports.

According to information from Diario Sur, the arrest warrant was issued in November 2006 after Yagüe failed to turn up for a one-year prison sentence for planning crimes. He also faces several other criminal cases.

His sister the ex Mayor, charged in the Malaya corruption case and suspected in around 20 other criminal cases, meanwhile faces action from the mother of a teenage boy who she allegedly slapped. Sur says the incident was on Tuesday when Yagüe is accused of stopping her car at a secondary school near her home in Marbella after the 15 year old shouted out ‘thief’ and ‘crook’ as she went by. Witnesses say she slapped him on the face when he said he would prove it to her ‘whenever you want’.

The mother later reported the ex Mayor for assault.
