The provincial court in Cádiz has found the bank to be at fault in the case of a man charged with fraud for a 30,000 € loan obtained from Bankinter. He used his wife as guarantor without her knowledge, and also used a power of attorney which had been signed by his wife in his favour, but hid the fact that it had been cancelled. The court considered in a ruling made public this Thursday that the bank was negligent in failing to make any checks at all into the man’s financial situation and has acquitted him of fraud and falsifying documents. The bank placed a private accusation in the case against him, claiming a term of six years in prison and a fine of 21,000 €. The man in question is Jenaro Jiménez, a Cádiz businessman who faked his own death by drowning off the coast of Tarifa in 2008. He fled to Paraguay to start a new life, leaving his debts behind him. There, the 44 year old married a former beauty queen and fathered a daughter; EFE reports that he named her after the wife he had left behind in Cádiz. He was arrested upon his return to Spain in 2009 to answer charges in the case which had been brought against him by the bank.
