ex Partido Popular Mayor of La Línea de la Concepción, Juan Carlos Juárez, has been sentenced to a seven and a half year ban from public employment or office after being found guilty of perversion of the course of justice in the Roseworld case.
The case relates to irregularities in the sale of four plots of municipal land to Roseworld in 2005, during the time that Juárez was Mayor of La Línea. The EFE news agency reports that he had faced a possible four years in prison and a fine of half a million €, but escaped prison after his acquittal of the crime of bribery.
The former tax and planning councillor, Carlos Ruiz Calama, received a two year prison term and a ban from office for the same period. He’s also been fined more than 680,000 €. Roseworld’s administrator, Anil Thakurdas, received a four year ban.
Six other suspects in the case, including three Partido Popular members of La Línea’s current local council, were acquitted of charges.
