Marbella police unions call for chief to be replaced

FIVE trade unions representing local police officers in Marbella (UPLB-A, SIP-AN, UEPAL, SIEP and STAL) have lobbied city mayor Jose Bernal to dismiss the current police chief Rafael Mora, alleging that he has been occupying a job position for which he is not qualified for several years.
The unions say they had put the same request to the former local government in the city, but to no avail, and that it is traditional after a new town hall team is elected to change the local police chief.
A statement from the groups concluded by claiming Mr Mora had been “damaging the reputation of the local police body for years.”
