Pantoja defence say the instruction judge in the Malaya case got the dates wrong: "Lawyers representing the singer, Isabel Pantoja, in the Malaya case have, in written evidence, claimed that she did not start her relationship with Marbella Mayor, Julián Muñoz, until April or May 2003.

Pantoja and Muñoz both face money laundering charges in the case, but her defence says the relationship started a year later than claimed by the instruction judge. They argue that the first money laundering charge against the singer, related to the purchase of an apartment in the Guadalpín Hotel, is dated before then.

In the defence document which is some 50 pages in length, they call for their client to be declared not guilty, and also supply bank information to justify her income.

Pantoja has made a written offer of assets to cover a 3.6 million bail which the instruction judge in court 5 in Marbella placed against her last October, with Muñoz, his ex wife Maite Zaldívar, and seven others also facing money laundering charges."
