Del Nido, who is the President of Sevilla FC, faces a possible 13 and a half years in prison

The testimony phase of the ‘Caso Minutas’, the case into alleged irregularities in services provided to Marbella Town Hall by the Sevilla lawyer, José María del Nido, concluded on Thursday.

The prosecution service is expected to present their final report on March 31, which will be followed by reports from the private accusation by Marbella Town Hall, and then by the defence, to take the case up until mid-April.

Del Nido, who is the President of Sevilla FC, faces a possible 13 and a half years in prison, but the longest term could go to Marbella’s ex Mayor, Julián Muñoz, who the prosecutor wants to spend 16 and a half years in prison. There are another 16 accused in the case, including the ex municipal real estate assessor, Juan Antonio Roca, who is the main suspect in Marbella’s Malaya corruption case.

The allegation is that Del Nido received 1.3 million € of public money from Marbella Town Hall between 1999 and 2003 for legal services he never provided.
