The trial against Arantxa Sanchez Vicario and her still husband, Josep Santacana, continues to be one of the main topics of today. Last Tuesday, September 12, the judicial process began against the former tennis player and her ex-partner, who are accused of an alleged crime of confiscation of assets and the Prosecutor's Office is requesting a four-year prison sentence for both of them and the payment of compensation. of 6.6 million euros.
Last Tuesday was the first day of the trial, where the athlete sat in the dock to give evidence. There she took the opportunity to accuse the person who is still her husband before the law and to assure that "she trusted her husband and that it was he who organized everything," since she was a "tennis player and does not understand heritage''. ''He decided to act like that, he didn't want to pay. And yes, it was he who emptied the accounts so as not to pay the Bank of Luxembourg,' she declared.
This Thursday the third day of the trial was held, where it was the turn of the experts. During the hearing, the expert hired by Santacana's defense assured that the former tennis player had enough assets to be able to pay the debt she contracted with the Bank of Luxembourg.
As indicated at the beginning of 2010, the athlete had assets of 7.8 million in real estate in Spain and several real estate assets in Andorra. For her part, the prosecution's expert, hired by the Bank of Luxembourg, has exposed during the trial that part of the assets in her possession were in the name of Josep Santacana.
The trial will continue this coming Friday, September 15, with the statement of the athlete's still husband, Josep Santacana. In addition, Arantxa Sánchez Vicario, who although she testified last Tuesday and is exempt from attending the entire trial, will be present again this Friday to use or renounce her right to the last speaking turn. Finally, it is expected that the trial will be heard for sentencing on October 19, when the last session will take place.
