The Supreme Court has turned down the latest appeal from Juan Antonio Roca, the ex municipal real estate assessor and the man at the centre of the Malaya corruption affair, against his sacking from Marbella Town Hall.
Roca was sacked as a disciplinary measure in August 2008 for his continued absence from work, during his time on remand in the Malaya case following his arrest in 2006. A Social Court in Málaga backed his dismissal as justified in January 2010, and Roca took his appeal to the Andalucía High Court.
They, too, considered it to be justified and the appeal then went to the Supreme Court. Europa Press indicates that the appeal was based on the argument of contradictions between different court rulings on cases similar to his, but that argument was thrown out in Wednesday’s ruling.
Juan Antonio Roca faces a possible 30 years in prison in the Malaya case and a fine of more than 800 million €.
