A few days ago, Cayetano Martínez de Irujo announced that his ex-wife and mother of his two children, Genoveva Casanova, had begun to take the first steps through legal means to sue anyone involved in the matter of his controversial images with him now. King Frederick of Denmark. An issue that has revolutionized the European press, and for which the Mexican press has been forced to disappear, overwhelmed by media harassment.
“All the complaints and lawsuits are in process,” said the Count of Salvatierra, who insisted that “the damage they have done to her and my children” would be paid because “it is intolerable that people are dismembered.” A media lynching that would have led, according to some, to Frederick of Denmark himself being proclaimed king. However, everything could change, because if Genoveva Casanova’s demands proceed, the sovereign could face an unexpected consequence.
According to Vanitatis, if these demands are accepted, King Frederick X of Denmark could be called to testify as a witness, although it is unlikely that this will happen. What’s more, according to the experts that the aforementioned media has consulted on the subject, the demands presented by the former daughter-in-law of the Duchess of Alba will hardly go anywhere since they are both public figures.
In the event that they are always filed through civil proceedings, the experts explain that the protection of honor is regulated by Organic Law 1/1982 of May 5. The complaint is criminal, and a prior conciliation act is necessary before filing any criminal action for slander and libel.
Everything will depend on the judge who evaluates the cases and demands presented by Genoveva Casanova, who will finally have the last word on this issue.
Another issue that is currently in the news spotlight these days is the alleged blackmail that the Mexican socialite would have suffered prior to the publication of the controversial images in the magazine Lecturas. Some snapshots of which, apparently, she knew of their existence and for which she supposedly asked for an exorbitant amount to remove them; an alleged blackmail to which she would never have given in.
Luis Pliego, director of Lecturas, defended his media and gave his version of the events, explaining that they obtained the images just two weeks before they saw the light of day. Pliego explains that when Genoveva Casanova supposedly notifies the now King Federico of the publication of the images, it is impossible to stop them.
Even so, he confirms that he never received a request to stop them. “What they tell me is that the photographers know that she, through the news and another person, is interested in knowing the value of the market” two days after the publication of the magazine.
What Pliego also clarifies is that, to the best of his knowledge, Genoveva was never asked for 250,000 euros, at least from his magazine. “That calculation is made, but it is not blackmail as such. She is never asked for that amount because it is not published.”
