British prosecutor denounces the squatting of his house in Ibiza

The Robinson family discovered at Easter that the lock had been changed and that people were living in their second residence.

Sophie Robinson and her daughters arrived last April 4 on the island and discovered that their villa in Sant Antoni was squatted when they saw the lights on and the key did not fit the lock.

The prosecutor’s wife then called the Local Police and the Civil Guard. Both security forces interviewed the inhabitant of the house, who acknowledged that he had squatted with his wife and two children because he had nowhere to live, publishes The Objetive.

A neighbor claims that there were at least four other men in the garden of the cottage, so the house was not just a single family.

A month of waiting

Almost a month later the house is still squatted. The owners have filed a complaint for the crime of usurpation of his property before the investigating courts of Ibiza, which has not yet been admitted for processing.

They also filed a brief before the Court of First Instance number 2 requesting as urgent injunction for eviction of the property and its restitution to the owner to prevent the continuation of the criminal action. But the courts have not yet ruled.

The Robinsons criticize the legal loophole that exists in Spain regarding the squatting of a house, since the Civil Guard told them that since they were a family and had nowhere to live, they could not evict them without a court order.

For this reason, the woman says that they have already contacted a de-occupation company, because it claims that the dwellers are selling items from inside the house, such as a high-end bicycle.
