Agents of the Nature Protection Service (SEPRONA) of the Civil Guard have investigated the former mayor of Haría Juan Ramírez as alleged perpetrator of a crime against land planning and urbanism, for carrying out works on land classified as rustic in the municipality of Haría, according to the newspaper La Provincia. The works were carried out from 2016 to 2020 on a tool shed, considerably increasing its volume and transforming it into a house without a license.
A complaint received in December 2019 led the Seprona Detachment in Lanzarote to investigate a possible crime against land planning in the town of Ye, where an illegal construction was carried out on rustic land without a license or enabling titles.
Seprona carried out the technical ocular inspection and verified the extent of the work and asked the promoter for the permits that would prove its legality, which he did not provide.
Seprona also verified through the municipal corporation that the location of the works is classified as Rustic Land with the categorization of Protected Rustic Land of Environments, and to which the category of Environmental Value Land corresponds, so those cannot be legalized either, according to the information provided yesterday by the Civil Guard cabinet.
Given these facts, constituting a crime foreseen in art. 319 of the Penal Code where penalties of up to 4 years of prison are established, Seprona investigated the man in question as the alleged perpetrator of the aforementioned crime against land planning.
The investigated, together with the police proceedings carried out, were made available to the corresponding Duty Court of Arrecife, awaiting a date to be set later for the oral trial.
