If Palm Beach stands out for something, it is for being an oasis where some of the most expensive mansions are located, as well as one of the largest
concentrations of millionaires
on the planet. Mar-a-Lago is located in this Florida town, one of the most impressive buildings in the country owned by
Donald Trump
(77), which during his presidential term was called the summer White House. Some of the
Kennedys
also live there and, of course,
the Fanjul family.
The Fanjul
are the kings of sugar.
Through Florida Chrystals
they control the refinement and sale
of this product that has been making them
billionaires
for decades. The best known is
Pepe
(80), a close friend of the Emeritus, who is estimated to have a fortune of 8.5 billion dollars, and then there is
Alfonso
(87), the oldest of all the brothers whose
assets reach 500 million
dollars.

The family
of Cuban origin
once again monopolizes the news of events and courts because a grandson of Alfonso, the attractive
Alexander Nico Fanjul
(38), has been
accused of domestic violence
due to
strangulation
, kidnapping,
possession of cocaine
, robbery, damage to property and obstruction of justice after
mistreating his girlfriend
on January 28 at his residence on the Atlantic coast.

According to the Telemundo news program that had access to the police report, the bad vibes between the heir and his girlfriend
originated at the
Flagler Steakhouse restaurant because Nico was bothered by sitting
next to a gay couple,
he expressed his frustration in a bad way and back again. He went home still angry. When her girlfriend told him to stop, he attacked her. At a certain moment
the young woman feared for her life.
When the
neighbors
heard the screams they called the police who immediately showed up at the luxury property to take the attacker to prison from where he was released
after paying bail of $180,000.
More charges
This
is not the first time
that Alexander Fanjul has had problems with the law. As Page Six exclusively publishes, in April of last year he also
faced charges of domestic violence.
Apparently, the millionaire
punched his partner
so hard that she fell backwards to the ground and tried to defend herself against her by kneeing and elbowing the rich heir who could not stop the woman from calling the police.
The origin of this fight took place at the Echo sushi restaurant where Alexander made
vulgar statements
about previous incidents between the couple. According to the affidavit, before arriving at the Palm Beach County prison, the heir was taken to the hospital because he was having
difficulty breathing.
