PSOE Secretary General Questions Judge’s Actions
José Bernal, the Secretary General of the Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE) in Marbella, publicly questioned Judge García Castellón this morning. Bernal asked how the judge could overlook the suspicious connections between Marbella’s Mayor, Ángeles Muñoz, and alleged drug traffickers, despite various police reports. This comes as the judge accuses Puigdemont of terrorism based on a single phone call.
Anti-Drug Prosecutor’s Decision Sparks Political Reactions
The Anti-Drug Prosecutor’s decision to seek a 22-year prison sentence for Joakim Broberg, the stepson of Marbella’s mayor, on charges of drug trafficking, money laundering, and bribery, has already sparked political reactions. Bernal has spoken out, demanding explanations from both Muñoz and Judge García Castellón, who signed the processing order.
Questioning the Judge’s Decision
Bernal questioned how the judge could initiate Puigdemont’s indictment for terrorism based on a single call, yet overlook suspicious activities in Marbella. The socialist councilor pointed out that there are also calls from the mayor, emails from her husband indicating which jobs should be given to companies accused of money laundering, and police reports confirming that she had met with drug lords at her own home.
Mayor’s Connections Under Scrutiny
Bernal also asked Mayor Muñoz to explain the city’s relationships with her relatives’ companies, which, according to the prosecutor, were used to launder money. He reminded that the Marbella City Council signed contracts worth nearly two million euros with the companies Codecosol and Villas de Puente Romano. He insisted on asking why these companies only contracted with the city council and not with other institutions, and what kind of relationship existed.
Mayor’s Assets Linked to Drug Trafficking?
Bernal also asked the mayor to clarify if there is any link between her assets or potential inheritance and drug trafficking.
