A British yoga teacher whose Ibiza holiday home was ransacked by squatters who turned it into a drug den, has called for Spanish law to be changed to offer more protection for property owners.
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. Mrs Robinson hopes her insurance will pay for the damage, but is not optimistic. She said the house is not a luxury villa but is close to her family’s hearts.
Mrs Robinson said squatters rent out rooms to people who cannot afford to live in Ibiza where prices have soared in recent years.
