Odeon Towers Building Project Halted Again in Monaco

After long negotiations that led to foundations being laid for the Odeon Towers this month, the building process has been halted by mayor of Beausoleil, Gerard Spinelli.

Controversy has long since surrounded the towers before the project commenced. Last year an investigation was launched into Spinelli and the alleged charges of taking money from the project and "influencing the project getting the go ahead," reports The Monaco Times.

Spinelli who was released from prison three months ago, has stopped construction work in protest to the charges brought against him last year and as an attempt to "clear his name of corruption charges," according to The Monaco Times.

The towers have been the source of dismay from the start with opponents including, Nicolas Sarkozy and surrounding residents.
