The list of articles seems taken from Puerto Banús himself.He accused his landlords having stolen a Cartier watch, three Persian Iranian carpets, some Louis Vuitton glasses and others from the Prada brand, a Gucci bag, a gold chain, three televisions...All brand articles.All expensive.Only a dozen objects, the few who knew how to assess, already reach 20.000 euros.And the relationship occupies an entire page of the complaint.

The accusation led the owners to face a judicial process dueThe denounced, who have been represented in the case by the Malaga lawyer Manuel Huertas.

The Embrobolo began in the summer of 2020, when the tenant, who would later have become Okupa, went to the Civil Guard Barracks of Mijas to denounce that his landlords had entered the house he had leased and had taken all their personal effects.

According to his version, the afternoon of July 27, when he went to the property that said he was leased, he surprised the owners inside.«Very nervous, I address them demanding that they leave there and I see that my belongings are not inside the house.They tell me that there is nothing of mine, that I had abandoned my home, that I no longer lived there, and that they had thrown all the things inside, ”he explained in the complaint.

He, on the other hand, assured that he had only been absent during the weekend, so he demanded that his belongings be returned and that they leave there.He even had to go an endowment of the Civil Guard, but according to him "they couldn't do anything at that time" because the owners "had changed the lock".

The complainant denied being an Okupa and insisted that he was aware of the payment of the rent, whose monthly payment was 550 euros that, he said, paid in hand.The receipts, he said, were inside the supposedly raided house, so he did not have a document that accredited him.Only recognized a lack of payment in June 2020 due to Covid.

The judge gives "likelihood to the version of the denounced" because the complainant cannot provide a title that legitimizes his possession and cannot prove the "preexistence of effects that says they were in the house, some of great value".Moreover, it describes as "incomprehensible" that articles such as "a Cartier clock, 3.000 euros in cash, glasses of great value...".
