The mayor of Roquetas and president of the PP in Almeria, Gabriel Amat, will be appearing in court on Monday, along with six other Councillors, relating to a re-zoning case which allowed the construction of villas on non-developable land.
Land was allegedly re-zoned to allow the construction of 10 villas and Judge Maria del Mar Alejo is investigating whether there were any irregularities during the process, as alleged by all the opposition parties.
The PP maintains that the licence was approved by two municipal technicians and also had the approval of the Provincial Planning Commission.
The PP used its absolute majority to block requests by three opposition groups to hold a commission of inquiry into the incident.
