Collien Fernandes shared a media report on Instagram that the Spanish justice system had “corrected” Christian Ulmen’s lawyer.
The “Focus” article states: “As a spokeswoman for the responsible court explained on Monday afternoon, there is ‘no legal regulation’ in Spanish law that requires a declaration to be made before a notary. Relevant representations are ‘false’. Christian Ulmen’s lawyers had previously pointed out in this context in a statement published on Friday that such a notarial declaration had not yet been made by the complainant Fernandes.”
The magazine writes that Ulmen’s lawyer reported that the Spanish lawyers accompanying the proceedings in Mallorca had made a mistake. According to the current status, the procedure is being delayed because it is still being clarified whether the case should be heard in Spain or in Germany. At the same time, the Berlin law firm stated that the previous representation had been confirmed despite repeated inquiries. Only a further review showed that this information was not correct.
Who is responsible now?
The public prosecutor’s office in Palma de Mallorca says that the Spanish courts are not the right place to comprehensively examine the allegations against Christian Ulmen made by Collien Fernandes. Instead, the procedure, as far as the remaining points are concerned, should be passed on to the responsible authorities in Germany. This emerges from a message distributed by Ulmen’s lawyers, the Schertz Bergmann law firm. This summarizes the position of the Spanish public prosecutor’s office in such a way that none of the matters mentioned in the complaint fall within its jurisdiction.
Fernandes comments with “Fact”
“Mallorca justice corrects elm lawyer” is the title of the article shared by Collien Fernandes, over which she has mounted the word “Fact”. Below there is a text that appears to have been formulated by her, which expresses her conclusion in one sentence: “Christian Ulmen’s lawyer is said to have made false statements on behalf of his client.” A sentence that is not mentioned in the “Focus” article.
