ORIHUELA mayor, Emilio Bascuñana, will not be testifying tomorrow(April 30) over accusations that he embezzled over €200,000 of public money over a non-existent job.
That leaves him free to try to fight-off tomorrow’s resignation vote in the Orihuela council chamber.
Bascuñana was due to give evidence before an Orihuela court but the hearing has been postponed.
No reason has been given for the delay and no new date has been announced.
The Anti-corruption Prosecutor’s Office has denounced Bascuñana, of the Partido Popular, who has been mayor since 2015.
