TRUE OR FALSE. Corruption Charges
Ive just heard the latest gossippppp....I was just wondering if any of the new goverment members could confirm that Trini Martinez and,Mariano Marti have been sent to prison on corruption charges. If this is true what amazing news it is. Let me stress this is just common talk on the Urb write now so if anyone knows more please keep us informed and if it is true i feel sorry for all the past councillors over the past four years.
The corruption charges - Its true. However they are not in prison.
on the 4th of June this year, the prosecutor for Anti-corruption in the Provincial court of Alicante, filed charges against Trinidad Martinez and Mariano Marti. The charges have been brought forward after that the previous (old) mayor of San Fulgencio, Fina Mora went to the courts and claimed that Marti and Martinez that the townhall had permitted construction of appartment buildings on land that had been assigned to house sport arenas or sport related buildings.
The anti-corruption prosecutor has asked for 2 years imprisonment and 10 years loss of future public offices. More information about the matter can be found here:

I think gossip it will be.any problems these two people may of been into,would of been quite recently or we would of heard about it.Spanish courts are notoriously slow,I believe the Barreras case is still not sorted and that happened years ago.
But if on the outside chance their is some truth in it,I wouldnt go into politics with Marc Lewis,as he has been second in command to both Barreras and Marti.Although in the Barreras case,Marc was one of only two Councillors to be exonerated from all charges.Undoubtably if it is true about Marti,Marc will be blameless,
I dont particulary like Marc,but i would put my trust in his honesty
