The Galician businessman Fernando Fernández Tapias died on October 25 at the age of 84, and since then his family has been surrounded by continuous controversies related to the tense relationship currently maintained by his widow, Nuria González, and his six older children, fruit of previous marriages.
This situation, which has intensified after the death of the shipowner, has been going on for years, when five of his children tried to incapacitate him to leave him out of all business decisions that had to do with their companies.
The trial ended with the Galician's victory over his own children, but a ruling revealed a few days ago confirmed that his children managed to disqualify him, although with a partial incapacity, which limited him "to the area of health and economic abilities." -legal-administrative necessary to manage your assets and your material assets.''
As a result of this confrontation, the businessman decided to leave his last will in writing, in which he confirmed that he did not want the presence of his older children at his funeral. For this reason, as they revealed on Monday afternoon in the program Así es la vida, the shipowner's eldest children would not have been invited to the funeral, which was going to take place this afternoon in Madrid.
''Fernández-Tapias' older children found out about the date and time of this mass last Thursday, when our TardeAR colleagues told us about it,'' commented journalist Alejandro Vigara. Furthermore, the reporter assured that there were not going to be family vetoes by Nuria González's entourage, but commented that it was very likely that they would not have reserved seats inside the church.
Hours later and thanks to the Antena 3 program And Now Sonsoles, we were able to learn live that the Galician businessman's eldest children had arrived at the funeral mass organized by Nuria González, to everyone's surprise. ''Two minutes ago Fernández Tapias' children and grandchildren just arrived. There was quite a controversy about whether they were going to come or not. They have shown up and said "it was our duty." "They have arrived in two vans," reported journalist Arancha Pérez Ponce.
