three people arrested in Murcia in the latest real estate corruption case in Spain are now at the disposition of the court. The Murcia High Court of Justice has said that Instruction Court 8 in the city had ordered the searching of the town planning offices in Murcia City Hall yesterday, as well as the searching of offices and homes in both Murcia and Madrid.
Reporting restrictions have been placed on the case, but it is understood the allegations are for the misuse of public funds, money laundering, bribery, and actions prohibited for civil servants, among others.
The three arrests are of the Director of the town planning department, Alberto Guerra, the lawyer Higinio Pérez Mateos, and the engineer, Renato de Noce. In addition there are at least five other people indicted, including the businessman, Jesús Samper, the owner of the Real Murcia football club.
It’s now known the case is linked to real estate deals carried out in the northern part of the city, where the Nueva Condomina residential complex can be found, as well as the stadium of the same name, home of Real Murcia.
Meanwhile the Partido Popular General Secretary, María Dolores de Cospedal, commented that the case had arisen now ‘to distract attention from the primaries’, with reference to the primary election for the Socialist regional candidate in Madrid.
The PP President of the Murcia region, Ramón Luis Valcárcel has said that the arrests ‘have nothing to do with the Partido Popular’.
