seven councillors involved in the granting of the licence guilty and sentenced them to 15 months in prison with a ten year ban

Twelve years after the initial denuncia was made, a judge has overturned a licence granted by the GIL controlled Marbella Town Hall for the construction of two blocks containing 240 flats at Pecho de las Cuevas, a green zone in the centre of Marbella.
Ecologistas en Accion say that Penal Court 4 in Málaga has found seven councillors involved in the granting of the licence guilty and sentenced them to 15 months in prison with a ten year ban from holding public office. The ecologists claim the land involved belongs to the people of Marbella.
