The management of the community decided to close the showers and the toilets by the swimming pools when the pools were allowed to be used again when the COVID-19 restrictions were eased in June. The showers by the pools are to be used for hygienic reasons. The decision of the management stands in stark contrast to the municipality information, where people were advised to use the showers by the beach as a measurement against COVID-19.
There has been lots of trouble with the squatters. The young couple with children that moved in and replaced the previous squatters in the squatter apartment in Bloque 6, were violent. The Police took initiative to a court case of domestic violence (“Violencia de Género”) between the squatters. The property owner next door was asked to a witness in court. The young squatter woman withdrew the case meanwhile the property owner next door was sitting waiting to be called in to the court room.
Thereafter, the squatter woman, filed a police report (“Denuncia”) against the property owner who had come to the court as a witness. The case against the property owner next door follow the same pattern and was withdrawn just when the session was supposed to begin in court.
The young man with a Pitbull, who is associated with “Jefe”, has threatened to kill the same man that “Jefe” earlier has been found guilty of threatening. The Judge at court #4 in Marbella found the young man guilty, but instead of paying the modest fine of 90 EUR, he went to a lawyer and appealed against the sentence. The appeal that the lawyer has given in is full of accusations without any proofs being presented.
The Police knocked the door of an apartment, next to the squatter flat (1-D), in Bloque 6 on 23 June 2019, 7:57 pm. The two policemen wanted to see the mobile phone of the man staying in the flat. They were looking for photos after another property owner, with big debt to the community, had called the Police and reported the man for pedophilia. The policemen looked at the mobile phone and realized it was a false accusation.
The President controls the community by Power of Attorneys. Some of the Power of Attorneys seem to be fake. It's believed that some people who works for the community also are engaged in persuading some property owners to grant the President Power of Attorneys, for the community to make decisions that are in their interest.
It's the big white potential dangerous dog (Dogo Argentino) that has attacked another dog and one of the gardeners within the community garden. The potential dangerous dog was running loose without a muzzle around the upper recreation area of the community garden.
The swimming pools were dirty and there was lots of ants already by the end of last summer. One could have expected that these issues should have been dealt with before the start of the summer season. This year when there's an ongoing pandemic, then it's outrageous that the swimming pools have not been cleaned thoroughly.
The tenant knocked on the door of an owner occupied apartment and delivered threats in person: “You and your wife are going to have problems with me, I'm going to slap you now, I'm going to hit you, I'm going to finish both of you, you're going to the hospital. . .”.
His defence in court was based on a false story that his daughter had been hit. Despite the fact that the tenant was found guilty he continued to insult the property owner and he also seems to have continue to distribute his fabricated story among people within the community.
It has come to our knowledge that there's been problem with squatters within the community for quite some time. It seems that the President, Vice-president and Administrator have tried to keep the property owners unaware of this situation as much as possible. Property owners are “shareholders” of the community and it becomes strange when important information isn't distributed to the property owners.
