High court shelves Punta Prima case, clears accused officials

April 7, in a provisional ruling on the 'Punta Prima case' by the Court of Justice of the Balearic Islands, the court's civil and criminal divisions cleared the defendants and moved to close the case. The court found that the facts did not constitute legal offence and dismissed any discredit to the defendants' characters.

The lawsuit filed February 1, 2012 by Sunway S.L. charged that in restricting the development approval of land in Punta Prima, the Gent per Formentera governing team composed of Jaume Ferrer, Sònia Cardona, Bartomeu Escandell, Josep Mayans and Sílvia Tur perverted the course of justice.

Bartomeu Escandell, vice-president and one of the defendants, expressed his satisfaction with the conclusion, for him confirmation that “we've always done our best to get things right and act in the best interests of the people of Formentera”.
