Juan Antonio Roca’s son, Juan Antonio Roca Jimeno, is now known to have supplied 410,100 € of his father’s bail money. He made the payment despite being a 19 year old student and having no registered employment. He is the only one of the Roca family who has not been charged and therefore the accounts in his name have not been embargoed.

Both his mother, Rosa Jimeno, and his sister María face money laundering charges linked to the purchase of winning lottery tickets which were detected during the instruction stage of the Malaya case.

Instruction judge Óscar Pérez has now been informed by the judiciary that a total of eight people put up the bail totalling 1 million € in the Malaya case, with a Margarita S.V. paying 200,000 and José María Gil Silgado, the ex Chairman of Jerez football club putting up 100,000 €.

The judiciary in Switzerland have meanwhile informed the judge that Juan Antonio Roca and his two sons have company accounts in the British Virgen Islands and Liechtenstein.

National Court judge, Miguel Ruz has also ordered an investigation into the source of the 450,000 € which Roca paid as his initial bail in the Saqueo 1 case in April 2002.
