The spotlight now moves to Alicante where the anti-corruption public prosecutor, Felipe Briones has asked the judge Cristina Costa to pass the Mercalicante case onto the Tribunal Superior de Justicia.
The scandal, which involves the embezzlement of the public company Mercalicante for 6 million euros, exploded in 2002, when an audit revealed irregularities in their accounting . Between 1999 and 2001 the organisation supposedly used different projects to cover up their economic movements.
The people involved in this scandal include the ex- mayor of Alicante, Luis Diaz Alperi; the Councillor for Property, Juan Zaragoza; the chief of Ciudad de la Luz, José María Rodríguez Galant- the last two members of the executive committee of the company; two representatives of Mercasa and the ex- manager of the company, José Emilio Clavero, who is the main defendant.
You can't help but notice that, whilst there may be many people now out of work, Felipe Briones, the anti-corruption public prosecutor has got more than enough on his plate.
