Not even property owners who hand over their keys to the bank and return to their home countries, victims of the financial situation in Spain and with no family or social resources here to fall back on. But the banks have all the time in the world and the law does not prevent them from following up a legal judgement in another country.
In no more than three years the number of mortgage foreclosures in Spain (the final legal step to repossess a property in the case of default) has almost multiplied by four, reaching 93,622 cases in 2010, according to statistics from the CGPJ (General Council for the Judiciary). “The majority involve foreign citizens” maintain sources, both from the association for those affected by property seizure and auction, AFES, and from certain financial institutions that have dealt significantly with foreign property buyers during the boom years.

The Torreblanca Residents Association (ASTOR) organised a press conference last week to highlight their concerns over town planning decisions in the area and the lack of municipal services.
“For many years now Torreblanca has been used as a dumping ground for the cheapest and worst-constructed buildings, many of which do not fulfil all the legal requirements,” said ASTOR president, Brian O’Carroll.
“In addition, there’s no bus service, the roads are never cleaned, the refuse service is minimal, there’s hardly any street lighting or pavements, and most parts are not connected to the municipal sewage system, so septic tanks have to be used. We pay our local taxes like everyone else, yet we do not receive the same services. How can that be fair?” he asked.
ASTOR, a non-political association, currently represents 9,000 out of the 25,000 people who live in Torreblanca, a Fuengirola suburb popular with British and Scandinavian residents.
One homeowner told SUR in English that the value of their property has been compromised due to the building of apartments near their villa. “The flats are so close that the tenants could dive into our swimming pool if they wanted!” he said. “Before there was a lovely little stream and lots of trees, but they have now all been removed. On top of it, at first we were told that the building would have two storeys but in actual fact it has three.”
The crop of unfinished, abandoned buildings is one of the key issues for residents, said Brian O’Carroll: “There are major safety and security issues regarding these buildings as anyone can have access to them. Plus they’re an eyesore and block out views. Some have been left as they were built illegally, or the company has gone bankrupt. And some of those that are occupied have not got a First Occupation Licence. Many of our members came to live here for a peaceful retirement and now they have to worry about the investment they have made in property here, the security of the homes, and put up with sub-standard municipal services.”
He added: “We demand that something be done to resolve these issues which are ruining our quality of life here. And at the very least we would like to have our concerns acknowledged by the Town Hall who’ve been dismissive of our pleas.
One resident said: “It seems that they’re happy to take our taxes but then we’re left to our own devices.”

BIO FUEL SOLUTIONS LTD FRAUD

BBC. One of Europe’s largest boiler room frauds, in which hundreds of victims lost in excess of £20m, has been shut down by police.
City of London Police have arrested 12 people over the Christmas period in Sunderland and Manchester. A 28-year-old man was also arrested in Sweden.
Detectives had been looking at the alleged share fraud since the middle of 2009, in an investigation codenamed Operation Soundwave.
One of the companies named by police as being part of their inquiry is the London-based BFS Corporation, that claimed to be a world leader in the bio-fuels industry.

The BFS Corporation was struck-off and dissolved in November last year and had never traded.
John Middlemiss was one investor in BFS, who parted with £11,000 on 4,000 shares before he grew concerned about cold calls from BFS salesmen. (más…)

Appeal for information The Euroweekly News

The bogus doctor, Pierre Albrecht, who was employed to carry out plastic surgery in a Marbella clinic on a basis of qualifications which were later found to have been forged, was sentenced by a Marbella Court in November. An explicit adendum to the sentence, by Judge Julian Cabrero Lopez, expressly prohibits him from practising medicine anywhere in Spain. 

 The forged certificates were found to be a reproduction of those of a doctor who qualified in France in 1989, and who appears in Albrecht’s CV as  the tutor who guided him throughout five years of study in aesthetic medicine. Albrecht had been practising in Marbella since 1997 and is thought to have operated on hundreds of people.

According to El Confidencial, since his sentence, nobody has seen or heard of Albrecht, not even the Marbella Clinic, where he practiced.

Since our article appeared in the EWN January 8 edition, we have received several calls from people who claim to have fallen victim to the man some have dubbed the ‘jet-set butcher.’ 

There has been much talk about a ‘pressure group’ of his victims but little in the way of details on who they are or how to contact them. After some research, we found out that the English-speaking Malaga-based law firm of ‘Vasquez Abogados’ is dealing with several cases relating to Albrecht’s activities.

If you are a victim, you can contact the lawyer, Francisco Damian Vazquez Jimenez, on (952) 215 859 or visit www.vasquezabogados.es for more information.

We would like to invite readers or victims to send us any information regarding this case to alfredo@euroweeklynews.com writing ‘Albrecht’ on the subject line. We would also ask anyone who has a

legally-owned photograph of Pier Albrecht to email it to us at the address above.

Investigates possible fraud to consumers by companies like FORTUNA LAND INVESTMENT.

Sold them the perfect opportunity to be partners in major projects in rural areas of southern Spain, but ended up buying smoke. The soils where promised to lift a leisure center, cottages or wind farms existed, but were not urban and there was never any plan to develop them.

Hundreds of foreigners, most of the UK, have been victims of a global scam orchestrated through a series of companies in the property sector mounted temporarily on the Costa del Sol. The Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office estimates that the network has raised at least 65 million by selling shareholdings in a number of farms located in Malaga and Granada.

The British community has been the subject of numerous real estate scams on the Costa del Sol in the last decade. In the UK there are TV shows dedicated exclusively to include cases of people affected by the desmans urbanization of the Spanish coast and also for scams related to complex or time-share vacation timeshare, a true classic of scams on the Costa del Sol.

The last case, dubbed Operation Fuentespina, is still under judicial secrecy, but those affected take months to coordinate and join forces to recover their money. One witness estimated that more than 2,000 may be affected. They are middle class, among which there are retirees and workers from Ireland, Scotland and Germany.

The Civil Guard arrested last week two people on the Costa del Sol and practiced half a dozen records. The offices from which they are offering these hypothetical investments were in Fuengirola and Mijas, but the fabric of society that drove starts and ends in tax havens such as Cyprus or the State of Delaware (United States).

The investigation sum more than a score of suspects of various nationalities. The case has led the agents to the UK, where the group of companies involved has recently moved its offices, according to its website. There have investigated nine people and the headquarters of several companies.

Still, researchers do not believe that among them are the primary responsibility of the thymus, which have been on the run and are probably creating another network in another similar company in the world.

The network caught their victims by telephone. Offered to invest in land in southern Spain and stemmed them to websites where they could get information. One of the companies offering these investments is Fortuna Land Investment. On its website explaining that focus their investments in southern Spain because it has the best climate, one of the best infrastructure networks and one of the most powerful real estate sectors in Europe. “Fortune Land knows the region, market and the economic and political context,” he said.

One of the investments was called Hunters Interests. Under the promotion, it was the third of the company’s growth Fortuna Land in Andalusia in the past 30 months. The plot was between Granada and Almeria, near the small town of Granada Gorafe, about 500 people. “It’s very close to the Alhambra, Sierra Nevada and just 15 minutes from a growing area of Almeria, where it is expected that the price of housing than the rest of Spain.” According to the publicity, the farm, about 1.1 million square meters, was full of olive trees and offering a panoramic postcard, with a valley and a ridge from which he was the small town of Gorafe.

In two years of investigation, the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office, whose delegate in Malaga is Juan Carlos Lopez Caballero, has desentrañado their ways. “Farm bought by companies domiciled in tax havens and immediately after these farms were associated with a number of companies of Spanish nationality,” explained sources of the Attorney General’s Office. The troops involved farms to Spanish companies and the valuations inflaban to multiply tenfold. Everything seems to entities that were backed by high social capital.

“Delays”

Spanish companies, with names like Oanna Spain, Finca Hunters, Fortuna Est 2000 or Fuentespina One, was associated with building projects, mainly related to leisure, and deployed throughout a campaign to publicize fairs in real estate, Internet and telephone operators.
