This document is referenced in a court-ordered summary that Europa Press has access to, covering the entry and registration record of the house located on Luis García Berlanga de Rivas street.
Judge Elena Sanz Collado, presiding over the Arganda del Rey Court of First Instance and Order No. 9, is overseeing investigations into claims involving an elderly woman and allegations surrounding the involvement of her spouse. The case touches on possible poisoning with heavy metals, including cadmium and manganese, in connection with the events under review.
Autopsy findings indicate a cause linked to heavy metal exposure. It is noted that cadmium found in oil-based products can be significantly above normal limits, and manganese levels in cells and batteries have also been reported as unusually high in this context.
The entry and registration record, written by hand and included in the summary, lists a substantial amount of money in various denominations: 116,300 euros in 50 euro notes; 2,340 euros in 20 euro notes; 7,800 euros on 100 bills; 400 euros on 200 bills; 170 euros on 10 bills; and 15 euros in smaller denominations.
Among the items seized by investigators are medical documents related to the deceased and objects such as batteries, paint cans, unlabeled medicine bottles, and clear liquid containers, among other belongings.
The synopsis draws on testimonies from friends, relatives, and neighbors of María Isabel. One confidant told the Civil Guard that the deceased tended to avoid discussions about her heritage, describing the topic as something she kept at a distance. The witness added a desire to share concerns with her siblings, noting that the situation involved balancing family responsibilities and financial matters.
The witness recalled that on June 10, 2021, the couple moved from the hometown of Grado to Madrid, under the pretext that they would take care of the victim’s children. They mentioned that rooms were taken and all expenses needed to be settled. The confidant also indicated that the deceased preferred not to travel to Madrid, accusing Luis Lorenzo of being untrustworthy.
The summary documents the bank movements related to the elderly woman’s account, showing transfers made to a relative between March 30 and June 29, 2021. Notable activity includes multiple transfers on June 28, 2021, the day of the passing, and a significant sum of 11,700 euros the following day.
On May 21, 2021, a power of attorney was issued to Arantxa to manage the accounts. In a previous matter, she had visited a notary public, but the woman’s deteriorating condition prompted hospital admission on the same day, a detail supported by testimony from a caregiver presented in court.
in good condition
Relatives and friends of the woman described her as being in good mental and physical health prior to her relocation to Madrid, aside from deafness and cataracts. They indicated that her overall well-being appeared sound before the events unfolded, and no signs of serious mental illness were reported before the move.
The summary notes that the manager of the caregivers who supported the marriage during the period of dementia has testified about concerns raised in the elderly woman’s records, suggesting a state of abandonment as described in the summary.
The synopsis also contains an audio recording dated June 6, 2021, in which a caregiver expressed concern that the woman was not receiving proper attention after a recent encounter with lice. This recording was presented in court after the notarial act, and Arantxa’s authority to act on behalf of the woman had become a point of contention due to the reported poor condition of documents involved.
Another portion of the testimony concerns a caregiver’s statement that the woman reportedly had no personal items for self-care, including basic supplies like diapers or sponges for cleansing.
Further details in the summary describe moments when the couple allegedly left the woman alone in a VIP setting for extended periods, including trips to an amusement park, which are cited as part of the broader narrative surrounding her care and treatment during the 2021 timeline.
Throughout these records, the focus remains on reconstructing the sequence of events, the financial transactions connected to the victim, and the care arrangements that surrounded her, as the court weighs potential negligence or wrongdoing in this sensitive case. The documents are treated as evidence to understand the dynamics of caregiver relationships, family involvement, and the overall welfare of the elderly woman during the weeks leading up to her death. This summary, drawn from multiple witness accounts and official records, reflects the ongoing efforts to determine what happened and who may bear responsibility in this troubling affair.
