Ex-councillor arrested

LA LÍNEA (Agencies) Although he has been away from politics for some time, ex-Councillor Miguel Atanet, who was once in charge of the Ports and Fishing department of La Línea Council in the days of the GIL party's regime there, was arrested yesterday by memebrs of the National Police. Sources say that he was taken to the police headquarters, where he remained as this was being written. There is no news, however, as to the reason behind his arrest. Atanet was an elected councillor during the first mandate of Juan Carlos Juárez, later worked at the Town Hall and then went on to private business. Juárez was recently sentenced to seven years disqualification, as we reported here.
