prosecutor in the Malaya case has warned about case documents going missing, with the anti-corruption prosecutors’ office calling for increased security for the evidence while it is in court.
Juan Carlos López Caballero says he fears that documents could vanish as has already been seen in the Ballena Blanca money laundering case, also based in Marbella. He fears that years of work could be lost.
In the Ballena Blanca case missing documents were found among the Malaya case documents and then deemed by the judge to be inadmissible after defence appeals.
The prosecutor has said he wants to see nearly all of the 584 page case summary read to the court when the hearing against the 95 people accused gets underway in Málaga on September 27, and he is also demanding that all the assets of the main accused, Juan Antonio Roca, be seized. The prosecutor has requested a 30 year prison sentence for Roca, with a 810.78 million € fine, on charges of money laundering, administrative perversion, misuse of public funds, fraud, passive bribery and other charges.
Roca's assets include 34 motor vehicles including two buses, a small plane, a helicopter, 72 fincas, 144 flats, a hotel, and two properties described as palaces. Roca is alleged to have directed a network which laundered some 245 million €.
