The Astapa Case, investigating allegations of corruption in Estepona Town Hall is now reported to have accumulated 150 boxes of documents which still need to be looked at.
The judge, Jesús Torres, who has indicted 94 people in the case, which now has seen four years three months under instruction, said that he was extending reporting restrictions.
The process is slowing down because of a lack of resources for the investigation.
The case broke in June 2008 with the arrest of the then Mayor, Socialist, Antonio Barrientos, and another 24 people including councillors, civil servants and businessmen.
