One of the councillors highlighted in the recent mobile phones for sex services scandal in Torrevieja, former Olympic gold medallist and the Councillor for Education and Sports, Daniel Plaza, who was the first to be accused of calling sex workers, has resigned from office. In a press conference on Saturday, with the mayor sat alongside him, from a prepared statement, Plaza listed his achievements whilst in office, all of benefit to the residents and visitors to the city of
Torrevieja, before announcing his resignation as a result of being “exhausted” by the “merciless media lynching”. Plaza reportedly admitted using his mobile to call prostitutes and sex workers, but later denied it, then he claimed that he may have called the numbers,but only returning missed calls that he had received.
