Yesterday morning, Inmaculada Martínez (acting mayor), Raúl Valerio Medina (first lieutenant mayor) , Mari Carmen Grau (Secretary General of the local PSOE), Herminia Ortiz and María Jesús Torres (both ex councillors) along with their lawyer, José Miguel Porras went to the court of First Instance and Instruction No 3 in Orihuela to declare before the magistrate, Joaquina de la Peña and the Anti-corruption prosecutor Felipe Briones .
They had already been called to the offices of the Guardia Civil in Almoradi last week and have now been imputed for their involvement in the crimes that the ex- mayor José Joaquín Moya is accused of. Their involvement seems to centre on the fact that they were party to the approval in council of the city planning irregularities that are being investigated.
The crimes that Moya is apparently accused of include "delitos de prevaricación, la ordenación del territorio, falsedad documental, cohecho, malversación de caudales públicos y negociaciones prohibidas a funcionarios públicos" which I translate to mean "crimes of:- corruption, the arrangement of territory, documentary falsification, bribe, embezzlement of public assets and prohibited negotiations with government officials".
