Defence lawyers of German countess Sandra Von Bismarck has claimed that the fact that she knows Juan Antonio Roca, believed to be behind the Malaya corruption case in Marbella, does not mean that she herself committed any crime.Judge Oscar Perez had questioned Von Bismarck about the fact she, Roca and local lawyers had been involved in buying and selling a property. The property in question, a 17,000-square metre plot in the Nagueles area which belonged to the countess, was bought in December 1997 for 204,000 euros by a company directed by the Sanchez Zubizarreta lawyers office, in which Roca had a 50 per cent share.The public prosecutor argues that Von Bismarck was in a position to know that Roca had a criminal case against him when the transaction was carried out.
