A desperate revenge

Unfinished homes developer kidnapped by disgruntled customers

By Nuria Pérez
TRAMPOLÍN Hills partner Rafael Aguilera was kidnapped and threatened at gunpoint last week by two men from Jumilla.

The men had bought several off-plan properties in the unfinished Trampolín Hills golf resort in Campos del Río.

They threatened the builder and played Russian roulette with him while they demanded he give them their investment back.

The men had first gone to the home of Trampolín Hills owner Antonio Martínez that morning but he was not in.

They then decided to go to the company's offices in Gea y Truyols, where they found Sr Aguilera.

Sr Aguilera managed to warn another partner that he was being kidnapped, and the Guardia Civil were notified and arrested the men.

They were taken to court in Murcia, where they face charges of threatening to kill Sr Aguilera.

A source close to Trampolín Hills revealed it was not the first time they had been threatened.
