MARBELLA, SPAIN: A picture of a plane that was impounded in connection with an alleged money-laundering bust in Marbella, southern Spain 12 March 2005. The head of a law firm in the Spanish coastal resort of Marbella appeared before a judge for questioning about his alleged role in a huge international money laundering network smashed the previous day, media reports said. The lawyer, Fernando Del Valle, is suspected by police to be the architect of a racket on Spain's southern Costa del Sol worth some 250 million euros (337 million dollars).
