Two civil servants from the Town Hall in Lora del Río, Sevilla province, have been charged with misappropriation of public funds and falsifying official documents for allegedly stealing 1 million € of public money.

They were arrested after a Civil Guard search of Town Hall offices last Friday, following an official complaint from the Town Hall earlier this month into irregularities in the wages department.

The Socialist Mayor of Lora del Río, Francisco Javier Reinoso, told journalists last week that the two civil servants had created fictitious identities, allowing them to collect 1 million € in wages over a 12 year period.

Sources close to the investigation informed the EFE news agency that the two suspects were questioned by a judge on Saturday and, as part of their release conditions, must report back to the judge at regular intervals
