Justice acquits the father of Sofía Palazuelo, future Duchess of Alba, after being accused of stealing from her family

On November 20, Sofía Palazuelo, current Duchess of Huéscar and wife of Fernando Fitz-James Stuart, went to the National Court with her brother Jaime to testify in favor of her mother in the legal process that has been facing her parents for some time. some years.

The complaint by Sofia Barroso against her ex, Fernando Palazuelo, marked a before and after in the family situation and caused the definitive breakup of the relationship that the businessman maintained with his descendants. Barroso denounced him for stealing 50 million euros from the family assets through the alleged commission of a continuing crime of misappropriation.

For Sofía Palazuelo, the trial was very uncomfortable, since she had not seen her father in person for a long time and had to sit down to testify against him. In addition to her, her brother Jaime also testified against the accused, who faced a five-year prison sentence.

As exclusively published by the media Vozpópuli, the businessman based in Peru was acquitted of said charges this Tuesday, January 9, which has been a hard blow for the daughter-in-law of the Duke of Alba, her mother and her loved ones. .

As the aforementioned medium has explained, the court defends in the judicial ruling that it has not been proven that the couple was de facto separated when the judged events occurred (the depatrimonialization of the company of which both were owners).

The sentence has broken all the schemes of the accusation, since the relatives had to wait a long investigation process (more than two years) in a court in Palma to later have to appear at the National Court, all for and to see obtain the acquittal of the businessman.

Although he has escaped victorious from this judicial case, Fernando Palazuelo is more than used to sitting in the dock. In 2006, the promoter was convicted of mobbing and many years later, in 2017, he was accused of having defrauded two former partners.

It should be noted that the relationship between Barroso and Palazuelo ended in 2005, at which time the woman discovered that her husband had a double life in Peru, that he was in love with another woman (Luciana Soldi) and that he had even had children with her. .
