Thirty days is the time limit a Marbella judge has given 79-year-old actor Sean Connery and his wife to pay some 3.3 million euros as security to cover any civil liabilities resulting from their charges in the Malibu planning case. The court has been investigating irregularities in the deals that led to the construction of 72 luxury apartments on land that was once home to a seaside villa, in which Connery and his wife lived for many years.
The state auditing tribunal states that the deals allegedly caused the municipal coffers to lose out on 2.7 million euros. The 1986 PGOU (town development plan) that was in force at the time only allowed the construction of five houses on the land. The investigation has revealed that the profits from the sale of the plot were more than 53 million euros.
