A prison sentence of almost two years is being sought for Estepona’s mayor in connection with alleged embezzlement, according to a report by Sur in English.

The report identifies the allegation as embezzlement but does not specify the conduct at issue, the amount involved or when it is alleged to have happened. It also does not identify the prosecuting authority or give details of the proceedings.

The available information does not say whether the mayor denies the allegation, whether a trial has been scheduled or when a court is expected to rule. A request for a sentence is not, by itself, a finding of guilt.

No further confirmed details about the case or its likely timetable were included in the supplied reporting.
