GREENPEACE activists who defaced the controversial hotel Algarrobico have been absolved of all guilt by Spanish courts.
The 28 campaigners painted the words ‘hotel ilegal’ on the complex in giant black letters in 2014, but the courts in Vera ruled they would face no punishment following a Supreme Court ruling calling for the hotel’s demolition.
That ruling, in February of this year, found that the hotel was built on illegal land that belonged to the Junta de Andalucia.
It reversed a 2014 ruling allowing for the hotel to restart work at the 411-bedroom complex.
