Soon-to-be Marbella police chief already under investigation
By Nina Chausow - PUBLISHED - 7 Aug, 2015 @ 13:05 LAST UPDATED: 7 Aug, 2015 @ 13:09
Montoya’s time as police chief in Velez-Malaga is under scrutiny, with accusations that he has a conflict of interest.
Outgoing mayor Francisco Bonilla, opened an investigation against Montoya after he criticised the town hall after a disagreement between the local government and the police force.
This suspected conflict of interest is not the first legal issue Montoya has tread carefully around.
In 2009, Montoya was cleared of an assault charge, where there was no evidence to prove an accusation that he had attacked his neighbour and knocked eight teeth out.
