Santana Cazorla Group placed detective José Pimentel, president of the National Association of Private Detective Agencies of Spain, and head of JPM Detectives Spain, on the actions of the Lopesan leadership to find legal basis for the interests of one of the members of the family clan in the figure of Manuel Santana Cazorla, one of the founding partners of Santana Cazorla, sold 50% of his rights in the group to IFA Touristik, a company of the Lopesan group. This The sale occurred in the middle of the bankruptcy of the Santana Cazorla group and that sale gave access to control of Anfi del Mar by Lopesan.
The relationship between Santana Cazorla and Lopesan has been the subject of controversy in recent years. The 'cazorlistas' accuse Lopesan of taking advantage of Santana Cazorla's financial situation to gain control of the company. Lopesan denies these accusations and claims that the purchase was a legitimate business agreement. The dispute between Santana Cazorla and Lopesan is pending judicial resolution. The newspaper Economía Digital noted this Monday regarding Pimentel's work that "the detective's report shows that the writings sent to the Commercial Court by two directors of Grupo Santana Cazorla have been prepared by a lawyer from Cuatrecasas." The detective's conclusions are that the Cuatrecasas law firm "has been advising Lopesan in the shadows" in his war against the competitor Grupo Santana Cazorla," as Economía Digital has revealed.
With this report, Grupo Santana Cazorla wants to demonstrate that two members of the board of directors, Juan Arencibia and Martín Jesús Suárez, "would have actually been working" for Lopesan "and would have promoted on the board of the tourism company actions contrary to the objective of avoiding its liquidation," says the peninsular newspaper. Manuel Santana Cazorla valued his 49% at 19,9 million euros in an agreement with Lopesan where he would have avoided his preliminary offer to the remaining 49%.
According to Santana Cazorla's thesis, Lopesan's lawyer, Luis Cabrera Caraballo, would be the one who formally signed documents about Anfi del Mar although "the detective's report concludes that, from the examination of the metadata and properties of the files analyzed, it is observed that the authorship of the writings presented in the Commercial Court, signed by the lawyer Luis Cabrera Caraballo, would really correspond to a lawyer from Cuatrecasa", indicates Economía Digital.
