This winter promises to be very complicated for the former Spanish tennis player with a more than uncertain judicial future and the danger of a prison sentence looming over her head
This particular apartment was sold in the first instance by one of the many companies that the tennis player established to manage her properties. It was September 2016. By then, the Bank of Luxembourg had already filed a criminal complaint against Arantxa and Santacana for a possible crime of property lifting and punishable insolvency.
The credit institution had been demanding from the tennis player the payment of the guarantee that canceled her debt with the Treasury, originally of 5.2 million but that in February 2018, the date of extension of the complaint to also blame Santacana, reached 7.5 millions of euros.
Interests were running fast. Since the first lawsuit by the BDL, in 2010, until today, the tennis player has only paid a little more than a million of the more than seven that came due, so the debt currently amounts to $7218144.
Last November, as published by “La Vanguardia”, the sumptuous apartment on the Diagonal was sold again to another company outside the tennis player, with the matriarch Marisa as tenant for life.
This winter promises to be very difficult for Arantxa. At the beginning of July, the Court of Instruction No. 4 of Barcelona issued an oral trial against Arantxa and Santacana and it is expected that the hearing will be held at the end of the year or the beginning of 2022.
The couple will face a request for four years in prison and against each other. Given that the Barcelona Court declared the Spanish courts incompetent to resolve their divorce in our country – it must be settled in Miami (USA), where they live.
