Mayor of La Linea, Juan Carlos Juárez, has been suspended from his post for six months by the Penal Court 2 in Algeciras on a charge of obstructing justice.
The ex GIL party member also has to pay 720 € in the so-called Caso Palex.It dates back to 2001 when the La Linea Town Hall was ordered by the Andalucian High Court to pay 1.84 million € to the Palez company which had the job between 1994 and 1998 of supplying hospital dialysis services, but the Town Hall, led by the Mayor, failed to pay all the debt, citing the economic crisis as the reason. Some 900,000 € including interest is reported to be still outstanding.
