The controversial and media Catalan businessman, José Elíashas been involved in the scandal uncovered by this newspaper following the denunciation of dozens of oncologists who received pressures so as not to prescribe expensive drugs against cancer and, in this way, … Save costs. It is the maximum shareholder (24.7%) of Atrys Healthcompany involved.
Last Monday, the ABC newspaper uncovered that professionals in the field of oncology have taken a step forward when accusing, with dozens of reports from the 2023 and 2024, to Atrys Health-Bienzobas to exercise pressures on doctors to reduce the prescription of the most expensive treatments. In the stock market session on March 17, the company had a strong collapse close to 5%.
José Elíaswhich has become a celebrity in social networks for months, has an important diversification in its investment portfolio. From technology and food, to the Audax Group, an energy company that in recent months was rumored with the possibility of ‘the white knight’ to rescue the Holaluz marketing.
And now, at most Atry shareholder, with a stock market capitalization that is approaching 250 million euros, all eyes point to how their movements will be after the scandal uncovered by the ABC newspaper.
As this newspaper has exclusively counted, the company chaired by Santiago Torreswhich has an intermediation area, offers health insurers to manage their oncology with management techniques that reduce their costs. When ATRES is hired, doctors must ask the “oncological advisor” of this intermediary to authorize the treatment they consider most suitable for the patient.
After this scandal, which has mobilized the Ministry of Health, ATRIS has had a series of strange movements in the stock market. After a fulminating market fall in the first session after the news is known, the company has bounced about 10%. However, as this media has been able to know in sources in the financial sector, these are movements that do not keep logic with respect to the events that occurred.
Even although the company has defended all accusations, it must now prove that the practices that have been uncovered, and the allegations of the toilets are not within their activities.
We will have to see how José Elíasand other major shareholders as Josep María Echarri (5.1%), Juan María Riberas (5.4%) or Carmen Ybarra (6.6%), according to the records of the CNMV, leave the focus of this reputational crisis.
On stock market activity, according to BME records, in recent days the movements have been above 200,000 records (purchase and sale), while in the previous days, under apparent normality, the negotiation volume ranged between 10,000 and 20,000 records. That is, there are movements out of the ordinary, although marked by information that affects the company’s fundamentals.
