I would go He has remained silent by order of his father and respect for his grandfather, but announces that this silence has come to an end after the death of the shipping businessman: “Now the whole truth will be known.”

Brief but direct. This is how Iria Fernández Tapias showed herself this Tuesday in ABC. A year ago she was much more explicit about the family situation they were going through: “They won’t let me see him! We don’t know anything about his state of health. It can’t be!

a broken family

The family tension between the eldest children of Fernández Tapias and Nuria González was present during the businessman’s farewell. The widow removed the wreaths ordered by her stepsons and even prevented them from entering the cremation room.

The war started in 2019when Fernando, Iñigo, Borja (fruit of the marriage between Fernández Tapias and Chiqui Riva de Luna), Juan Carlos and Sandra (born from his second marriage to Juana García-Courel) filed a lawsuit to legally incapacitate him after certain business movements in favor of Nuria González.
