Sandra Ortega, war in the courts with her henchman
The legal mess between
Sandra Ortega
and her former manager,
José Leyte
, is far from over. This week began one of the trials for the two complaints that the businesswoman filed against her former collaborator, whom she accuses of misappropriation, unfair administration and documentary falsification. But things did not turn out the way Ortega thought. And it is that Leyte admitted that there were signatures in the documents that endorsed the loans to
Room Mate
that were not made by Sandra Ortega but that said signatures were imitated, but always with the "authorization" of the businesswoman. The statement turns the case around because, according to the former manager's lawyer, jurisprudence determines that "an imitated signature with authorization is not forgery."
With this new scenario, Sandra Ortega, who was at the door of the court to be questioned as a witness, has not been able to give her version in court due to the risk that her statement would have criminal consequences and not be adequately assisted by a lawyer in those cases. moments. Thus, now the hearing is suspended and the judge will open a new period for the parties to present arguments. Also the
banks that are involved
in the case as injured, who will now have to decide whether or not to accuse Ortega for the falsification of the signatures.
The complaints and cross accusations of
Leyte
and Ortega
began with the dismissal of the former manager, who until then had been the right hand first of
Rosalía Mera
, Sandra's mother, and later of Ortega herself. His former collaborator then began a fight in the courts to claim the compensation he believed he was entitled to after his years of service at
Rosp Corunna,
the
family office
through which he managed the investments of the Mena-Ortega family. Sandra limited herself to offering Leyte severance pay as a senior manager by claiming loss of confidence and having given him six months' notice of her dismissal. For the former manager, that amount was insufficient and he wanted compensation according to the
18 years
of service in the company.
The trial was held in June and a sentence is pending.
COMPLAINTS
It was after that lawsuit by José Leyte that Sandra Ortega counterattacked with two complaints: the one that this week has taken them to court for the extensive financial support that Rosp Corunna would have given to Room Mate and the signatures of those guarantees and another for
misappropriation.
According to Ortega's lawyers, the former manager has received money behind the back of his former boss in some operations.
This trial has not yet started.
The court cases put Sandra Ortega in a difficult and uncomfortable situation, especially if we take into account the discretion with which she has always managed her life and her business.
As
LOC
published
last June, the pandemic has unevenly affected their investments.
She has made a lot of money with
PharmaMar,
which in 2020 had a profit of 137 million euros and of which Ortega owns 10% of the shares, but the businesswoman has been hampered by the crisis in the hotel sector due to the pandemic due to his participation, inherited from his mother, in the Room Mate chain.
