The Barcelona judge who is investigating Allen Sanginés-Krauser, a friend of Juan Carlos I and Mexican magnate, and one of the emeritus king’s doctors, the Barcelona physician Manuel Sánchez Sánchez, for alleged fraud against the Treasury of 600,000 euros, has summoned them to testify as witness for the next May 29 to the model and businesswoman Ana Maria Duque Moncada, who is now domiciled in Madrid. The judicial sources consulted by EL PERIÓDICO assure that this woman participated in the operation of a capital increase of the private clinic of this doctor that is being investigated, whose investigations began as a result of a complaint filed by the Barcelona prosecutor’s office.
The court opened an investigation months ago into Sangiés-Krauser, the doctor Manuel Sánchez Sánchez and his wife for allegedly simulating the capital increase of the company that manages the DeSanchez Clinic, located in the upper area of the Catalan capital. The head of the city’s Investigating Court number 29 has now extended the investigation for another six months, pending the result of the letter rogatory (request for cooperation) to the United Kingdom to proceed with the interrogation of the Mexican friend of the king emeritusnot having found him in the residence he has in Spain.
The tycoon’s entrance into the clinic
Sánchez began to have a relationship with Juan Carlos I when he worked at the Planas Clinic in Barcelona and the relationship continued when he opened his own clinic and, through his treatments, emeritus anti aging. The company that manages the clinic was established in October 2014 and its share capital was initially subscribed by AAM, the doctor’s wife. In January 2016, the woman sold all of her shares to her husband, who became sole partner of the firm, although she remained as administrator. On that same date, the company received 245,000 euros from a company based in Madrid created by the Mexican Sanginés-Krause.
According to the prosecution, the income reflected in the income tax returns from 2016 to 2018 presented by the doctor “were only a small part of what he really received”, because, in his opinion, he “hid” in those exercises other remuneration for an amount of €1.3 millionwhich actually came from the provision of their services.
The “strategy”, he points out, consisted of “camouflaging” these amounts as capital increases of the company managed by the clinic and which were signed between 2016 and 2018 by the Sanginés-Krause company. In the opinion of the prosecution, these operations “were not such, but were simulated.”

Months after the last capital increase, according to the public ministry, the shares were transferred to the Venezuelan businesswoman, Ana María Duque Moncada, established in Spain since 2018, for the same value that they were acquired: 1.3 million euros. And the prosecution has verified that there is a relationship between this businesswoman and the tycoon Sanginés-Krauser.
Capital increases are simulated by the “lack of justification of share premiums and their absolute disproportionality”, the “lack of economic motivation from the investment”, the lack of documents about the project and previous negotiations, the lack of “control” of the capitalist partner [el magnate] on the resources provided (99.77%) and the “disposition” of funds by the doctor with “total discretion”, concludes the prosecution.
