Ex Totana Mayor faces more than 28 years in prison: "Juan Morales, the ex Partido Popular Mayor of Totana under investigation in the Operation Totem corruption case, faces more than 28 years in prison for the 10 crimes he is accused of in the written accusation against him presented by the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor on Friday.
His alleged crimes include bribery, money laundering, fraud, falsifying documents and misappropriation of funds.
As a member of the regional parliament, the ex Totana Mayor’s case is being dealt with by the Murcia High Court of Justice, which formally charged him in January. Reporting on the case this Monday, El País said the prosecutors have evidence that the illegal commissions Morales allegedly charged for real estate deals amount to more than 15 million €.
Amongst the 12 suspects who are charged with him are the ex Mayor’s former wife, María del Carmen Jordán, and his Brazilian girlfriend, Vaneide Freita. The first faces more than four years in prison for two counts of bribery, while the latter could spend three and a half years in prison on the charge of money laundering."
