#Andalucia :Isabel Pantoja To Stand Trial For Money laundering

With the singer on the accused bench will be her ex partner, the former Marbella Mayor, Julián Muñoz, and Muñoz's ex wife

The provincial court in Málaga has set the date for the money laundering trial against the former Mayor of Marbella, Julián Muñoz, and his two exes, the singer Isabel Pantoja and his ex wife, Maite Zaldívar. It starts on June 28 next year and is expected to extend into 2013.

The two women are charged with laundering funds for the ex Mayor and each face a possible three and a half years in prison. A fine of 2.6 million € has also been requested for Zaldívar.

Only two court sessions a week, on Thursdays and Fridays, have been set for the moment so as to not coincide with the sessions in the Malaya case, where Muñoz is also a suspect. He faces seven and a half years in prison in the money laundering case and fines of almost 7.5 million €.

The remaining seven suspects are the businessman José Miguel Villaroya, considered the right hand man to Muñoz and his wife, the businessman’s two children plus another member of the Villaroya family, Zaldívar’s brother Jesús, a former manager of a branch of Cajamar in Marbella and an ex stock broker.
