sacking of Juan Antonio Roca from his post as Municipal Real Estate Assessor at Marbella Town Hall was justified

judge in Social Court 11 in Málaga has ruled that the sacking of Juan Antonio Roca from his post as Municipal Real Estate Assessor at Marbella Town Hall was justified, and that the man who is at the centre of the Malaya corruption allegations has no right to his job back or any compensation.Marbella Town Hall had sacked him because of absence from his post after he was first imprisoned on remand when the Malaya case broke in March 2006, but Roca had claimed unfair dismissal.Carlos Rubio, the councillor for personnel in Marbella Town Hall, said that common sense had triumphed, underlining the lack of morals and the cheek of Roca for challenging his own sacking.Roca’s lawyers declined to comment to the La Opinión de Málaga newspaper as they said they had not been officially informed of the verdict.Roca had been working at the Marbella Town Hall since May 1992 and had been earning an official wage of more than 9,000 € a month. If his claim for compensation had proved successful, experts say he could have been awarded some 300,000 €.
