Five more British families in Albox are facing the possible demolition of their homes.
They were summoned to court number 2 in Huercal-Overa on the 7th of April to be told that their builder Osvaldo Ceferino Martinez has been charged with planning crimes relating to the illegal construction of their homes in the ‘La Molata’ area of Albox.
The State Prosecutor is seeking the demolition of the five homes with compensation payable to the homeowners by the builder. The builder is also expected to pay the 65,000 euro cost of demolition. Sr. Martinez’s’ whereabouts is unknown to the homeowners at this time and there is some concern as to his financial status.
The families were given just three days to appoint a lawyer and a procurator so that they can take part in the proceedings to defend their interests and claim compensation.
The case will now be sent to trial in Almeria.

Generally, these builders have a small limited liability company worth just three thousand euros and a mad granny for a president. There is not much one can do. The platinum four wheel drive will belong to their wife...
In later news, the court is asking for two years of prison-time for Osvaldo.
