The case goes on

The case against the former mayor, Raúl Valerio Medina continues as 25 neighbours from Bigastro are summoned to testify in court.

The allegation, made by the current mayor Charo Bañuls, is that these people were allowed to get away with not paying local taxes for their property and vehicles. There is apparently no record of any agreement or resolution at council that justifies their non payment and therefore the former mayor is charged with malfeasance, misappropriation of public funds, fraud and illegal exaction (whatever that is).
