The tune passed the night stopped and the next morning she was transferred to the Marbella courts to testify before the investigating judge, Miguel Angel Torreswhere she spent three hours answering an interrogation, accused of several crimes against public finances and money laundering.
The former mayor of Marbella and sentimental partner of the artist, Julian Muñoz , who had already been in prison since October 5, 2006, convicted of another corruption case, was also accused in the Malaya case. The suspicions of the investigation pointed to a plan between Muñoz and Pantoja for the artist to acquire land and real estate with the profits that the mayor had obtained from her criminal activities.
