The Prosecutors’ Office has called for a three million € fine for the ex-Mayor of Manilva. They consider that Pedro Tirado and his brother in law ‘accepted an important sum of money’ in exchange for signing a real estate agreement. The case is called ‘La Parrada’ and is investigating the real estate on the land of the same name. It’s alleged that agreement was made by the ex Mayor and his brother in law to up the price of the land involved. The case was being heard today, Thursday, in the 8th section of the Málaga court, when the prosecutor modified his initial accusation and asked for two years in prison and a seven year ban from public office. In addition a fine would have to be paid of 3 million € for the crime of bribery for a businessman who acted as an intermediary and for the brother in law who in addition faces a two year prison sentence and an additional fine of 2.2 million € for money laundering. The prosecutor considers Royal Marbella Estates acquired several fincas to then try to obtain plusvalías on the sale, but for that to work that land had to be ‘attractive’ for the promoters. 10 properties per hectare were planned but this was increased to 18 properties per hectare later. Royal Marbella Estate paid 9.7 million for the land which La Opinión de Málaga says was sold later for 117 million. The prosecutor considers that rather the money going to the town, the Mayor wanted the money for his own enrichment. The businessman and representative of the company now are subject to a search and capture order.
