“El heredero italiano que enterró el Reggaeton Beach Festival: "Llevamos 250 años haciendo negocios y seguiremos mucho después"”
Here the accusation comes from an interviewee, the new administrator, not from the paper. The former owners replied with a right of rectification in which they concede one point — some accounts were never filed — and rebut the inference with two dated contracts. The interviewee then replied back.

- 6 still standing: unanswered, or the outlet was right
- 2 answered, refuted with a document, or claimed without proof
Article score: 7.5/10
Every sentence starts counting for the article, because unanswered is how it was published. Answering it takes the point off the outlet and gives it to the person named. Green means answered, not proven: what an editor has checked against a document is written in each sentence's own label.

What the outlet published · Sentence 1
“Que esto es una estafa. ¿Por qué? Porque nunca fueron presentadas por parte de la antigua administración las cuentas del 23 y del 24.”
Translation · ES
That this is a fraud. Why? Because the accounts for 23 and 24 were never filed by the previous management.
What this claims, in our words · ES
El nuevo administrador afirma que es una estafa porque la anterior administración nunca presentó las cuentas de 2023 y 2024.
What the other side says
«Iván Sanahuja y Raúl Rojas, antiguos propietarios y fundadores de Reggaeton Beach Festival, niegan categóricamente haber cometido las conductas fraudulentas o de ocultación de información que se les atribuyen.» «Es cierto que determinadas cuentas anuales de algunas sociedades no llegaron a depositarse en el Registro Mercantil. Sin embargo, dichas cuentas habían sido formuladas y aprobadas, quedando pendiente su depósito registral por circunstancias administrativas y contables.» «La falta de depósito registral de determinadas cuentas no significa que estas no existieran ni acredita que la información financiera hubiera sido ocultada a los compradores, y tampoco constituye por sí misma prueba de una actuación fraudulenta.» «El propio Gianmaria Borra Cerruti aparece identificado en el Master Term Sheet de 4 de febrero de 2026 como responsable de "Supervisión Financiera", figurando entre sus funciones la coordinación de procesos de due diligence.»
Translation
"Iván Sanahuja and Raúl Rojas, former owners and founders of Reggaeton Beach Festival, categorically deny having committed the fraudulent conduct or concealment of information attributed to them."
"It is true that certain annual accounts of some companies were never filed at the Companies Register. However, those accounts had been drawn up and approved, with only the registry filing outstanding for administrative and accounting reasons."
"The failure to file certain accounts does not mean they did not exist, nor does it show that the financial information was concealed from the buyers, and it does not in itself constitute proof of fraudulent conduct."
"Gianmaria Borra Cerruti himself is identified in the Master Term Sheet of 4 February 2026 as the person responsible for 'Financial Supervision', with the coordination of due diligence processes among his duties."
Iván Sanahuja and Raúl Rojas, right of rectification under Organic Law 2/1984, published in full by Crónica Global on 18 August 2026. EDITOR'S NOTE: they concede the fact — some accounts were not filed — and dispute the conclusion drawn from it. That is a stronger reply than a blanket denial.

“Yo espero el momento de ver a estas personas en un tribunal diciendo: “Es el señor Cerruti quien ha hecho todo esto en 32 días de administración, y no nosotros en diez años de estafas”.”

What the other side says
«La compraventa definitiva se formalizó mediante contrato vinculante de fecha 13 de marzo de 2026, posteriormente elevado a público. El propio contrato establece que, desde su firma, Iván Sanahuja cesaba en sus funciones de administrador.» «Posteriormente, el 17 de abril de 2026, las partes suscribieron una novación modificativa y cesión de posición contractual, en la que se reconoció expresamente el importe efectivamente abonado del primer tramo y el saldo pendiente.»
Translation
"The definitive sale was formalised by a binding contract dated 13 March 2026, later executed before a notary. The contract itself establishes that, from signature, Iván Sanahuja ceased to act as administrator."
"Subsequently, on 17 April 2026, the parties signed an amending novation and assignment of contractual position, which expressly acknowledged the amount actually paid of the first tranche and the outstanding balance."

“Voy a la gestoría a pedir que me envíe la documentación para presentarlas y me dicen: “No, no, no, nosotros no hacemos nada”. “¿Por qué?”. “Porque el antiguo administrador aún nos tiene que pagar 50.000 o 70.000 euros”.”
Translation · ES
I go to the accountants to ask them to send me the paperwork to file it and they tell me: "No, no, no, we do nothing". "Why?" "Because the former administrator still owes us 50,000 or 70,000 euros".
What this claims, in our words · ES
DEUDA CON LA GESTORÍA: 50.000 o 70.000 euros que, según el entrevistado, el antiguo administrador seguía debiendo. Es una cita dentro de otra cita: él cuenta lo que dice que le dijo la gestoría.
