El Confidencial has reported that IRM (Investments in Mediterranean Resorts) filed voluntary bankruptcy creditors on October 9.
The suspension of payment is due to the refusal of Sareb (the bad bank) to refinance at IRM, a company created in 2009 which owns the assets of Polaris World awarded to the banks.
Sareb will get all assets of IRM, among them many lands or the Murcia Intercontinental Hotel, for resale.
Polaris World is basically empty of content as creditor banks were awarded in 2010 with the good assets (mostly finished homes close to golf courses) that they managed to sell them at discounts of up 60%.
