Isabel Pantoja has been given her passport back

Isabel Pantoja has been given her passport back by a Marbella judge to enable her to go on tour, despite being on bail over a massive property fraud and money-laundering racket.Pantoja, whose music career began nearly 40 years ago, was arrested in May 2007 at her Marbella home during investigations into the infamous ‘Malaya’ case of property corruption and tax evasion affecting housing developments on the Costa del Sol and in Los Alcázares (Murcia).She bought her freedom by paying 90,000 euros in bail, which was later refunded to her, although her passport was confiscated and she is under the vigilance of the court.On Sunday, however, it was announced that she would be given her documents back in order to travel to Mexico and Colombia for her work.Pantoja will be expected to report to the judge the day after she arrives back in Spain, and hand her passport over again.Also implicated in the Malaya case is the former mayor of Marbella, Julián Muñoz, and his former wife Maite Zaldívar.
