The case involves 17 defendants, including notary Enrique Peña and lawyer Francisco Comitre from Cardona. Prosecutors allege the group targeted vulnerable individuals, tricking them into signing away their homes for prices far below market value while they believed they were securing personal loans.
“"I thought I would be left without a roof over my head. I didn't read the document because you trust the notary."
The prosecution is seeking sentences of over 20 years for the main suspects, including Artur Segarra. A potential settlement is being discussed to lower prison time in exchange for voiding the fraudulent sales and returning properties to the 128 affected families.
