anti-corruption prosecutor in the Troya Case now getting underway in Coín, Juan Carlos López Caballero, has demanded a four year prison sentence and an eleven year ban from office for the Partido Popular Mayor of Alhaurín el Grande, Juan Martín Serón, on five counts of passive bribery.The Alhaurín el Grande town planning councillor, Gregorio Guerra, considered by the prosecutor as the organiser of the corruption, faces a possible seven and a half year prison sentence, a 1.6 million € fine and an eleven year ban from office on charges of bribery and 14 counts of town planning irregularities.Another civil servant and 16 businessmen also face charges related to town planning corruption in the case. 16 constructors are alleged to have paid backhanders, and now each of them faces two years in prison on bribery charges, and a range of fines from 15,000 to 180,000 €.The prosecutor said that the Alhaurín el Grande Ayuntamiento had worked since 2002 in efforts for personal illegal enrichment, by demanding payments to increase the buildable areas for constructors in the municipality.
