Florentino Pérez, el poder del palco

Emerged in the heat of the Francoist petty bourgeoisie and the apprenticeship of a frustrated political career, Florentino Pérez has emerged as one of the greatest exponents of the Spanish oligarchy. His empire, built on two main legs: ACS and Real Madrid -concrete and football-, is made up of assets of around 2,000 million euros and a company with more than 100 subsidiaries in tax havens that appears in the corruption plots Gürtel, Púnica , Lezo of the PP, three percent of CiU and that has financed the FAES foundations of Aznar and Pablo Iglesias of the PSOE. Florentino went from taking over a bankrupt construction company and being an employee of the March family to controlling highways, dependency and cleaning services and even nurseries..., multiplying his wealth by more than ten since he arrived, back in 2000, to the presidency of the white club. For this he has used the privilege granted by the Bernabéu box and the world of sports as a hotbed of corruption and speculation. He has woven a whole web of intimate relationships with journalists and controls media tempos like few others, even putting on and removing newspaper directors and even calling for captions that he doesn't like... Money, influence, managing contracts and public works concessions, a wall of silence around him, movements in the institutions, this is the (untold) biography of one of the most powerful men in the Spanish state.
