Under the spotlight

Councillor Manuel Barrera and the chief of Local Police, Bernardo Cortijo, both of whom have been investigated for corruption, have now been released from prison without bail.

However, the current investigation into the bribery scandal in San Fulgencio is only the tip of the iceberg.

Apart from other town planning irregularities at San Fulgencio; in Benitachell the mayor and an expat councillor are pending trial after being arrested and released without bail following an alleged bribery case.

Serious doubts have also been cast on construction-related developments at Dénia town hall and this week, Alicante’s new mayoress and former mayor have also been implicated in alleged building-related deals.

You can't help but notice there is a clean up campaign underway which will unearth more causalities before it is concluded.
