Skull Found
A HUMAN head has been found in a cave in the Sierra de las Villas in Jaen.
Three cavers came across the gruesome find during a routine exploration, but have been stopped from revealing the exact location until an investigation has been completed.
The bones were handed over to the Guardia Civil and Judicial Police officers, who have begun an inquiry to clarify the ‘possible legal and archaeological’ implications. Tests are being carried out to determine circumstances and personal details, and missing persons’ records are being checked.
Tax Refund
The European Commission ruled yesterday that Gibraltar must return around 100 million euros in tax benefits awarded to multinational companies in contravention of European Union state aid rules.
The EC launched an investigation into Gibraltar’s corporate tax regime in October 2013 and determined that the territory had, from 2011, provided selective tax benefits that were illegal under EU state aid rules to selected companies.
Benidorm Sky Scraper
SPAIN’S tallest residential skyscraper – the iconic InTempo building – is back on track to finally open next year in Benidorm.
According to reports, the owners, SVP Global, have signed an agreement with Catalan promoter Uniq Residential and architect, Rafael Robledo, to finish off the building that has seen no work carried out on it for the past four years.
The plan is to finally finish the project that is already 93 per cent complete “in the first quarter of next year” after a series of financial problems encountered by the original promoters of the project ended up with them filing for bankruptcy.
Once occupied the InTempo will not only be the highest of its kind in Spain but the second highest non-commercial premises in Europe.
