A FORMER president of Madrid is wanted for questioning in a €2 million bribery and money-laundering case linked to Estepona.
Anti-corruption officials are set to grill the former PP leader Ignacio Gonzalez over his ownership of a luxury apartment in the town, said to have been given to him as a bribe.
Investigators also want to talk to Enrique Cerezo, the ex-president of Atletico Madrid over the apartment in Alhambra del Golf.
The apartment was registered to a company based in the tax haven of Delaware and listed as being owned by lawyer Rudy Valner.
It is believed that Valner is merely a front man and the property was given to Gonzalez as some sort of sweetener on a deal.
Gonzalez has now claimed he rented it from 2008 before purchasing it for €730,000 in 2012.
However, recordings made by police in 2011 allegedly reveal Gonzalez asked two officers to help cover up the scandal.
