Mrs Robinson arrived at the property with her daughters, aged 21 and 16, to find her home had been invaded by squatters, known in Spain as. When the court failed to grant an order to kick out the squatters, Mrs Robinson decided on 11 April to pay €5,000 to Desokupa, one of a group of companies who specialise in ousting squatters.
On 5 May, a month after she discovered the house had been overrun, Mrs Robinson’s lawyer rang to say the police were about to raid the house after obtaining a court order to evict the squatters. “My father built it in the 1960s. It means something to all of us. We have had fun times, sad times. My father went there before he died. I have scrimped and saved to keep that house. It means so much to me. It was heartbreaking.”Mrs Robinson said a German neighbour on the same street in Ibiza also had her home invaded by squatters – and she believed it could be the same people after seeing one of them driving down the road.
Dani Esteve, head of Desokupa, said out of 8,000 cases last year, his company had dealt with about 500 involving Britons and other foreigners, mainly in Mallorca, Ibiza and Marbella.
