It was a key day for the marriage. But the Criminal Court number 15 of Madrid has suspended the trial that began this Tuesday to Borja Thyssen And his wife, Blanca Cuestafor an alleged fraud of 336,417 euros to the Treasury, corresponding to the fiscal year of 2010.
According to Europa Pressthe trial has been suspended due to “the strike of public officials” and it is unknown when the hearing will be held for which they face a sentence of three years in prison and a fine of more than one million euros each.
The son and daughter-in-law of the Baroness Thyssen They arrived early this Tuesday at the courts accompanied by their lawyer, Pedro Mejias, and a half smile on his face. In a suit and light blue shirt in the case of Borja and with gray pleated pants, a sky blue turtleneck sweater and a short black cloth coat in Blanca’s, the couple went in and out a few minutes later without making any statements and limiting themselves to giving the “thank you” to the press that was waiting for them at the door.
According to the Prosecutor’s provisional conclusions brief, both declared that in 2010 they had a capital gain of 2,206,527 euros from the sale of some social shares, when the real one, according to the public ministry, was 3,792,564 euros because they simulated that part of the transaction corresponded to a company that was actually inactive, “thus hiding the amount of 1,586,037.39 euros from the Public Treasury”, and ceasing to pay 336,417 euros.
On February 26, 2010, the sale of the shares of Cas Capetó SL took place by Borja Thyssen (owner of 50%), Blanca Cuesta (40%) and the company Caribean Breeze SL (10%) to the Dutch Princess Four BV, Hermosa Beach Holding BV and Martinez Investments BV
The Prosecutor’s Office explains that the assets of Cas Capetó SL consisted mainly of a house in Ibiza, which lacked hired personnel and no economic activity, and that the total price paid for said operation amounted to 9,700,000 euros, which were deposited in the account owned by the defendant.
Both of them, who presented the 2010 income statement in their joint taxation modality, declared that this sale gave them a capital gain of 2,206,527 euros, hiding 1,586,037, according to the Prosecutor’s Office, which maintains that the concealment would also come from the sale of shares carried out through Caribean Breeze SL, which is a “dormant company”.
For the public ministry, the company was filed by the defendants when they acquired the shares of Cas Capetó SL in 2005, which constituted, in their opinion, “a simulated legal transaction, the real transaction wanted by the parties being the acquisition by Borja Thyssen of 57% of this company and by Blanca Cuesta the remaining 43%”.
