The inspection by the Local Police of Alicante, carried out last February to check the residents of the public housing (VPP) at Residencial Les Naus, took place four days after the Conselleria de Vivienda requested it. Furthermore, the officers who visited the development had no additional information regarding the owners of these homes.
This was revealed during a working session of the municipal commission tasked with overseeing the management and purchase of the VPP at this residential complex. During the session, the Local Police inspector who prepared the report, Antonio Santana, appeared. The other three summoned attendees (the municipal deputy secretary, the municipal comptroller, and the former head of the Legal Advisory area) submitted letters of excuse.
Santana's appearance was the second since the commission was established. The inspector explained that the order to carry out the checks was communicated on February 16th and they were conducted starting February 17th, four days after the Conselleria's request. He stated that they were only provided with the request and census data, but no information about the owners' identities.
The inspection's objective was to verify the correspondence between the people inhabiting the homes and the registered census data. Santana assured that visits were made at different times of the day to obtain a "real" result. He did not speculate on whether the mayor's prior announcement, Luis Barcala, or Compromís's request to check census data might have influenced a potential early occupation.
Regarding the outcome, it was confirmed that 95 out of 140 homes were inhabited. There were 13 apartments where no one was found, two where residents claimed to be renting, and several cases where occupants presented themselves as friends of the owners. Santana confirmed they did not request rental contracts or check water consumption.
The report also noted 26 mailboxes with abundant mail, suggesting those apartments might not be occupied. The report was submitted to the police headquarters, and no further instructions for follow-up checks were given.
Upcoming sessions, scheduled for June 8th and July 6th, will include appearances by representatives from Provía, the sole administrator of Fraorgi, workers from the Municipal Housing Board, deputy mayor Manuel Villar, Housing councilor Carlos de Juan, Finance and Heritage councilor Nayma Beldjilali, and Urban Planning councilor Toño Peral.
