Such a worrying discrepancy could not go unanswered and consequently, Erva lawyers have now written to top-firm Uría & Menéndez for an explanation. It does not take a great capacity of comprehension to understand that the “offending” paragraph would have met great resistance from the instigators of Rothschild’s CredictSelect Loan Facility, a fundamentally flawed, predatory and deceitful product.
As Rothschild put it, an asset backed loan that is unlike a conventional mortgage (sic).
Well done for sending this excellent letter to these disgraceful Spanish lawyers whom in our opinion should be cloaked in shame and who have brought shame on all the decent Spanish lawyers who stand up for Justice and who seek to protect the vulnerable.
I have heard of lawyers who are jealous, who do not share information or cases when they know it could help victims being abused and suffering irreparable damage to their lives, simply because they are jealous or greedy. They always use the excuse of ‘judicial secrecy’ and expect us to fall for it!
There are hundreds of us who heartily applaud Antonio Flores who has risen above the narrow minded and has seen that by sharing, by being honest and clear cut, you get respect from all, in all countries and certainly judges in Spain should be happy to see lawyers of such integrity and determination to see Justice is done in his country and that old people are protected internationally.
Bravo Antonio Flores y Felix ano Nuevo !
As stated in one of earlier comments, we have, through our lawyers sent the letter to Uria & Menendez asking for an explanation as to why, it would appear, that these Rothschild lawyers found it within themselves to publish a very disturbing second report on very important tax issues, omiting a crucial paragraph. We will of course let you know the outcome. With the recent reports of the oldest private bank in Switzerland having to close its doors as a result of the punitive fines imposed by the US Authorities for incitement to commit tax fraud to the US Treasury (see link below) Erva together with its lawyers will be denouncing these banks to the SPECIAL TAX PROSECUTOR . I hope our members will agree with this course of action. It is clear that these banks mnetioned in previous posts are guilty of exactly this INCITEMENT TO COMMIT FRAUD AGAINST THE SPANISH TAX AUTHORITIES. It is time for the Spanish Government to get iunvolved, this could certainly be a good source of income for the much beleagured Spanish economy. You, the victims are responsible for your taxes, therefor you would be the one committing the offence. I wonder how many people have lost their spouses and have in fact unknowingly committed this tax fraud. Just to clarify matters, one cannot only declare the value of the property less the mortgage loan for IHT purposes. You have to declare the whole value including the loan that was taken offshore. These matters will eventually come to light when the courts instruct the banks to divulge this information, perhaps if you are one of these people you need to seek some professional & legal advice and come forward.

Well done Antonio and the ERVA, I think I speak for everyone when I say we support to the full your actions. Lets hope you get an honest reply from the “lapdog” lawyers – I doubt it somehow. Regarding the second comment the Spanish Government must be taking an interest when they see the amounts of money being raked in by the US Government in particular.
Also still counting down the 20 days until Nordea try and worm there way out of court!!
That is good news. Erva and their lawyers certainly make the wheels go round and live up to their promises. I wonder how Uria & Menendez will get out of this one. If they reply of course. If not then I guess Erva will report them to the Law Society. Here is another thought though. What if Uria & Menendez did not change the report, in other words they believed that this scheme was fraudulent in its context. Is it possible that this could have been doctored by one of the three musketeers, i.e Dewsnip, Murphy or Walton or all three. No doubt it will all come out in the wash. I like the idea of the tax evasion side being reported to the SPANISH TAX PROSECUTOR. No doubt Nordea Bank, Danske Bank , Rothschild & all the others will be wondering what next will come out of the woodwork. Some more “creepy crawlies” without doubt.
It would seem that the fraud and collusion is far more deep rooted than first thought. In some respects I hope that Uria & Mendenez can come back woith an explanation that exonerates this well respected law firm, at least it may restore some faith in the Spanish system. As has been mentioned, perhaps one has to look elsewhere for the change of oppinion. I like the idea of informing the Spanish Tax Prosecutor to look at these schemes, providing of course this is against the Spanish Law as it is in America. Another thought would be to inform the US Authorities of the banks in Spain inciting people to defraud the Tax laws, perhaps some of those banks are operating in the USA. Now there is a thought.
The attached link,which I have commented on in a later post is interesting in so much that the British Police have charged employees of the Halifax Bank of Scotland Branch in Reading with CONSPIRACY TO CORRUPT. Is this not precisely what Rothschild and their lawyers have done.
