Former World No.1, Arantxa Sanchez Vicario began her Barcelona fraud trial in tears saying she trusted her ex-husband to manage her assets.
According to the prosecutor, the 51-year-old was charged with embezzlement with her ex-husband Josep Santacana after they allegedly defrauded the Banque de Luxembourg.
Accused of hiding assets to avoid a debt of $8.14m, this has been going on since 2009. However, he admitted that he did not know of any illegal activity that gave Santacana a trust.
He stresses that being a tennis player means he doesn’t have deep knowledge of property management. They separated in 2019, but could soon serve a four-year sentence if found guilty and be liable to pay back millions of euros in damages.
“I did what he told me to do, because I’m a tennis player, I don’t know properties or companies or anything. I trust my husband,” said Arantxa Sanchez Vicario in the court of Barcelona.
