Five more homes under possible threat of demolition in Albox
According to the AUAN (Abusos Urbanisticos Almanzora No)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 home-owners by the builder. The builder is also expected to pay the 65,000 euros cost of demolition. Sr. Martinezs' whereabouts is unknown to the home-owners at this time and there is some concern as to his financial status.
The families were given 3 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.
