Muñoz maintains that all her assets are declared before the Tax Agency and attributes the investigation in the Senate to an electoral strategy
Thursday, May 18. That is the date that Committee on Incompatibilities of the Senate has been set to approve the report on the investigation that began at the end of February on the assets of Ángeles Muñoz, after the mayoress of Marbella and senator modify your declaration of assets in the Upper House to include the acquisition of the entirety of a company and a dwelling in Sweden.
The Commission will submit the report to the Board of the Upper House, which will determine if Muñoz violated the Code of Conduct of the Cortes Generales, to which all senators must submit.

The opposition considers that, with her absence in the Senate, the mayoress prioritizes her private interests even if it means damaging the image of Marbella. “You cannot tell us that you got 15 million euros working as a family doctor“, says the PSOE.
For the Cs candidate, Angel Morathe councilor “has lost a great opportunity to clean up its image and, above all, that of Marbella“.
In the opinion of the candidate from the left-wing bloc united with Podemos, Victoria Morales“we have a mayoress who only looks after her pocket and particular interests.”
The suspicions of the Senate on the origin of the heritage of Muñoz began when the councilor modified her declaration of assets once the National Court I had already started investigate his closest family environment for alleged crimes of money laundering, drug trafficking and belonging to a criminal network.
The PSOE then requested a petition to investigate the fortune of the councilor. The initiative was supported weeks later by the Committee on Incompatibilities of the Senate, which began the process.
It is the first time that the Senate resorts to the Code of Conduct of the Cortes Generales, which was approved on October 1, 2020, to investigate the declaration of assets of one of the members of the High camera.
