  • Royal House The story of Don Juan Carlos' affection for the Fanjuls, his Cuban hosts

  • 2016 King Juan Carlos, partying with the Fanjuls at a Palm Beach hotel

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.

Pepe Fanjul and his wife, Emilia Fanjul.GTRES

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.
