Juan Antono Roca's lawyer tells the court he is innocent

The defence lawyer for Juan Antonio Roca, the man at the centre of the Malaya corruption case based in Marbella Town Hall, which is continuing in Málaga, has said, ‘Roca obtained indecent profits, but legal ones’. Rocio Amigo went on to say that Roca purchased and sold, and sometimes he obtained a grand profit, and other profits were indecent, but always legal. The lawyer was speaking in her final report before the court. She called for Roca to be absolved, describing his curriculum as that of ‘a successful businessman’ who had made his first inversion in real estate before he was 30. Amigo insisted that real estate speculation may be amoral, but it is legal. She said Roca had a good wage and 20 fully-functioning companies in 1996, which generated millionaire profits. She went on to attack the first instruction judge in the case, Miguel Ángel Torres, for what she considered were unfounded presumptions. During the investigation she also criticised the police investigation, noting they tapped Roca’s phone without a judicial order.
