The former socialist mayor of Bigastro, José Joaquín Moya, has been moved to a closed prison in Murcia to serve a four-year sentence for keeping 70,440 euros from the Council for the sale of municipal land.
He has been transferred to the Murcia II prison after he voluntarily entered a Social Integration Centre (CIS) on the 31st January, also in the Murcia capital, the Guillermo Miranda, facilities intended for prisoners in an advanced state of reintegration, a requirement that was not met in his case.
With capacity for a thousand inmates and located in the municipality of Campos del Río, in the interior of the Region, the Murcia II penitentiary centre is where he will spend the next few months until his prisoner status is formally classified.
