The struggle for power in Sevilla has intensified in recent times and goes beyond the confrontation between the sides that lead Joseph Castrocurrent president, and Jose Maria del Nido Benavente, former head of the entity. He has started a legal battle against his son, the vice president Jose Maria del Nido Carrascowith whom he had already broken relations and who remains close to the current management leadership, forming an important part of it.
After what Benavente Nest broke the governance pact signed in 2019 by the top shareholders and attempted in vain a coup d’état together with the American investor (777 Partners) at the last Shareholders’ Meeting, the former president has now filed a lawsuit for the Mercantile against his son, as revealed by ‘Diario de Sevilla’, to dissolve the group of shares that represents the company ‘Nervíón Grande SL’, created by Del Nido at the time and whose administrators are his two sons and Jordi Marín, a director who has now entered to replace José María Manzano, from the rope of Del Nido father and who has been replaced by Marín in a maneuver by Del Nido son.
The former president is based on the fact that his son has not managed society adequately defending his rights and wants to unblock a situation that leaves him out of the game when it comes to fighting to assault the power that the family alliance now holds. Castro, Carrión, Alés and Guijarro. Del Nido, the largest individual shareholder, believes that he would have a majority in a vote with the support of the ‘Americans’, holders of 7% of shares and that after accessing the club under a promise of sale by the current managers, they are aligned now against him. A real gibberish with crossed demands, conflicting families and many intertwined interests.
