A controversy emerges that puts Rafa Nadal and his wife, Xisca Perelló, in the spotlight

Recently, a controversy has emerged involving Cristóbal Montoro, former Minister of Finance from 2011 to 2018. The Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office is investigating an alleged network of confidential tax information leaks. 

According to the investigation, Montoro and his team had early access to inspections and tax processes. The former minister in question is said to have received tax data that should have remained strictly confidential. 

Among those affected by these leaks are several public and business figures. Notable names include Rodrigo Rato, Esperanza Aguirre, Luis Bárcenas, and Jordi Pujol Ferrusola. But celebrities outside politics have also come to light, such as tennis player Rafa Nadal and his wife, Xisca Perelló.

Recently, information has been confirmed that directly affects tennis player Rafa Nadal and his wife, Xisca Perelló. According to some sources, the couple was in the spotlight during this investigation.

During the review of their advertising contracts by the Tax Agency, Nadal and his wife were under inspection. According to the documents, the Tax Agency began a tax review that, apparently, the former minister's circle already knew about in advance. According to some sources, this process was communicated to the couple before the official notification from the former minister.

An email from the Agency's director stated that a proposal had been prepared with details Nadal already knew, while the ministry also had early access to that information. This has caused criticism for the lack of fairness in the process.

The accusations against Montoro 

Cristóbal Montoro, former Minister of Finance from 2011 to 2018, has categorically rejected the accusations. He claims there is not enough evidence and has announced that he will take legal action to defend his honor and reputation.

However, the investigation is not limited to the possible leak of data. It also points to a possible conflict of interest within Montoro's own circle. The media impact has quickly become apparent, and citizens are waiting for a clear and fair resolution.
