Thanks - this is more or less word for word what was said in the article that I was referring to.  It's stange though that the Village Romano website is still up and running as normal with no announcement made.  Also, as far as I am aware investors have not been notified formally.  A friend of mine who invested last year found out when I sent him the article and was absolutely stunned!  Not good practice I say.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news for any of  you who have bought off-plan on this complex.  There's an article on the This is London website (part of the Evening Standard newspaper).  Have copied and pasted the first para of the article, but have a look for yourselves.  (This forum won't allow me to attach the link as I haven't posted enough messges or something). 

'An exclusive Spanish development where up to a dozen British celebrities own properties could be bulldozed after being linked in a corruption scandal, it emerged today.

The Valle Romano complex -where leading Premiership stars Paul Robinson,   Michael Brown and David Bentley have homes - is being investigated as part of   Operation Astapa.

The scandal has so far seen the resignation of the Estepona mayor and 40 arrests,  including the boss of Valle Romano Luis Linares.'

Sounds pretty serious to me.  Had a bad experience with the Football Village last summer and after lots of aggravation and many months, managed to get our money back.
