The judge who currently processes the cause for an alleged fiscal evasion of more than eleven million euros by the real estate tycoon Matthias Kühn has accused Jorge Sainz de Baranda Brünbeck, lawyer of the German businessman who, according to the investigations, would have been one of the determining links when help Debts with the Treasury.

It should be remembered that Sainz de Baranda was a general director of Taxes in the second legislature of Jaume Matas (2003-2007). Subsequently, in 2010, he was arrested and charged with alleged crimes of embezzlement, bribery and prevarication in the Bomsai case, one of the multiple corruption procedures that emerged after that mandate. Although initially the PP refused to adopt measures against him, he finally suspended him with militancy when the judge decreed for him on bail of 50,000 euros. The prosecution and legal services of the Balearic Government resigned years later to formulate accusation in the case and it was finally filed.
Through a recent car, the judge has agreed to investigate him – although still without a citation date – for her role in the design of the complex of concealment of assets allegedly warp by the tycoon, among which is the property of the Ibizan island of Tagomago. Kühn, linked to the tourism and luxury real estate sector of Mallorca and a couple of the Vedette Norma Duval, is protected that the debts that it maintains with the Tax Agency
The complaint filed at the time by the Anti -Corruption Prosecutor’s Office argues that, over several years, assets from one society to another were transferred with the intention of hiding them while they were declared in competition.

In July 2024, the Superior Court of Justice of the Balearic Islands (TSJIB) transferred the 96 million public euros to the Commercial Court number 1 of Palma, previously paid by the regional Executive. Justice, however, remains with compensation waiting for the debt of more than 11 million euros that it maintains with the Treasury.
The researchers thus focus their investigations in a tangle of companies that allegedly have been constituted in order to camouflage the benefits from real estate operations and avoid their tax obligations. After opening at the beginning of 2023 criminal proceedings for these facts, the Treasury inspectors registered in March 2024 the house of the tycoon in their presence and, during the diligence, several device and several emails of utility for the investigation were seized.
According to Kühn’s defense sources, his business group has already offered the Tax Agency to guarantee the entire debt through the crutch, in addition to a pledge right over such compensation through the Birdie society, they are life, SLU “the AEAT never answered this proposal”, they recriminate, asserting that Kuhn’s offers coll Pour now on him.
