12 of the people charged in the Astapa corruption case based in Estepona Town Hall, have calmly walked back into the building

El País reports that 12 of the people charged in the Astapa corruption case based in Estepona Town Hall, have calmly walked back into the building and are back doing their jobs. While the Socialist ex Mayor of the town, Antonio Barrientos, remains in prison on remand, the four councillors who were also arrested are now back at their posts, as are the town planning technicians implicated in the case. This comes despite a warning given by the Town Planning Councillor, Rafael Duarte, that should this happen there was a possible risk of evidence being destroyed in the case. He has written to the Councillor for Hacienda, Francisco Zamorano, himself released on 50,000 € bail in the case, calling on him to act to ensure that no technical reports are manipulated. El País reports that Zamorano has responded that there is no legal reason to limit the access to the Town Hall of those implicated in the case.
