has judicially claimed the minutes not paid by the businessman to the law firm .

As El Confidencial has advanced this Monday, the amount owed for the services provided by the VDT Abogados office, which defended its interests for about five years, would

amount to about 1.5 million euros.

The claims, admitted for processing, have been presented before the courts

that, in their day, were in charge of these proceedings, among which the one initiated as a result of the distribution of the will of the former president of El Corte Inglés Isidoro Álvarez, who died in 2014, stands out. , and the case for the adoption certificate of his daughters, Marta and Cristina, dismissed by the judges.

Legal sources have explained to Efe that

the firm has tried to reach an agreement with Gimeno, offering him alternatives such as a reduction of up to 70% in the oath of accounts - the

amount required for uncollected fees - in order to be able to pay the team, led by lawyer María Victoria Vega, for her professional performance.

However,

his defense argued that they did not have enough money to meet this payment, and conditioned it to the sale of 7% of El Corte Inglés that the family still has.

The same sources indicate that the calculation of this amount has been determined in accordance with the opinion of collegiate criteria of the Madrid Bar Association.
