Julián Muñoz faces money laundering charges in the Malaya case

The court investigation into money laundering surrounding the ex Mayor of Marbella, Julián Muñoz, as part of the Malaya corruption case has shown that before he met Isabel Pantoja, Muñoz and his wife, Mayte Zaldívar, spent 297,000 € more than they earned over the years 1997 to 2003.

Instruction judge in the Marbella Court, Óscar Pérez, noted that Zaldívar admitted that her husband would often arrive home with suitcases and envelopes of cash and that the safe in the house held as much as 50 or 60 million pesetas – some 300,000- 360,000 €.

Muñoz’s ‘additional earnings’ continued when he started his relationship with the singer, Isabel Pantoja, in 2002 who now has also been indicted on money laundering charges.
