Former Marbella mayor given two more years in jail for using town hall building materials to fix up own home

FORMER mayor of Marbella Marisol Yague has been sentenced to another two years behind bars.

It comes after the 67-year-old, who is already serving a five-and-a-half-year sentence for her involvement in the Malaya cash-for-votes scandal, was found guilty of misappropriation of public funds.

Yague was convicted last week for using granite, marble and other materials that were stored in a town hall warehouse to refurbish her own home in 2004.

She was found guilty alongside two other former town hall employees – Luis Angel Maté and Elías del Pozo – who assisted in stealing the building.

The former mayor must also return €10,729 to Marbella town hall.
