A heinous crime against helpless elderly people who wanted nothing more than to enjoy their twilight years took place at the Villa Germania nursing home in Chiclana de la Frontera in southern Spain. At this nursing home, seniors were locked up, drugged, abused, and degraded in order to obtain other people’s assets. The nursing home was run by the German-Cuban couple Markus A. and Estrella Marina H., who managed to swindle 1.8 million euros from the elderly residents. The scandal came to light when 101-year-old German Maria B., who lived in a house in Tenerife, was reported missing to the German authorities by her friend in Germany. The Civil Guard took on the case and discovered that Maria B. had met the German-Cuban couple in Tenerife in 2017. They convinced her to sell her house and move into their nursing home in Chiclana de la Frontera, where they wanted to take care of her. But instead, Maria was kept there for months, handcuffed and fed through a feeding tube. The fraudulent duo obtained a general power of attorney so that they could plunder Maria B.’s account, which contained over €160,000. They also had themselves appointed as heirs. As Maria B.’s health deteriorated, she was first admitted to a hospital and later to a nursing home in Novo Sancti Petri, as the couple feared that Maria B. might pass away, which would mean they would lose her pension. But there, the Civil Guard found Maria B., who told them about her entire ordeal. The Civil Guard applied for a court order to protect Maria B. from the couple. But this took time. The couple decided to get Maria B. back into their care as quickly as possible. On December 20, 2017, they picked her up from the retirement home at 11 a.m. A few hours later, she was dead. Maria B. had allegedly died of natural causes. Since the couple had her cremated at the local crematorium on the same day, it was no longer possible to perform an autopsy. Just a few weeks later, the couple was arrested for fraud, document forgery, abuse, and money laundering. At that point, the couple had invested the stolen money in vacation homes in El Palmar de Vejer, 10 kilometers away. During a search of their home, two plane tickets to Cuba were also found. But nothing came of that. Four other people were arrested with them, who had not only taken all of the elderly couple’s possessions, but also robbed them of their human dignity.
