Luis Lorenzo planned to withdraw €10,000 from his aunt because "she has little left"
The trial over the alleged poisoning of 85-year-old Isabel Suárez has uncovered messages from her nephew-in-law, Spanish actor Luis Lorenzo, in which he planned to take €10,000 from her accounts because "the old lady has little left." In three months, the couple spent €17,400 of the woman's savings before her death in May 2021. The prosecution argues that the couple took advantage of the elderly woman's vulnerability to divert her assets.
Planning the fraud
The recovered messages show Lorenzo asking a financial adviser how to withdraw money without raising suspicion. "The idea is to take out 10,000, because the old lady has little left," he wrote. The couple also tried to revoke Isabel's will to cut out her siblings and nephews. The notary who had been asked to formalize a power of attorney over the elderly woman's assets refused to do so, a key indication that the maneuvers may have been illegal.
The notary's role and the will
One user pointed out that the same notary who refused in this case had granted him, without any problem, a power of attorney over his own aunt's assets, worth far more. The notary's refusal suggests that Isabel Suárez's situation showed signs of lacking capacity or of coercion. Lorenzo's defense and that of his partner, Arancha Palomino, argue that the spending was for her care and that the death was natural. However, the messages reveal a cold, calculating attitude.
What no analysis has quite explained is why, with such clumsy planning, the couple believed they would not be caught. The trial continues, and the million-dollar question is whether the actor will be the only one convicted or whether his partner will share responsibility.
