THE DOCTOR, who runs a busy practice in Benidorm and California, maintains she has been cheated of a prized house on the resort’s exclusive Urbanisation Rocas Blancos. Dr Lee, a French born American citizen, accuses a former patient of defrauding her of the 2 million euro house and casting a web of deceit to make it appear he was the property’s rightful owner. The matter went before a judge in Gandia on March 9 but Angelino Montaner Berto failed to turn up at court and the issue was adjourned. This week RTN tracked down the businessmen to an industrial estate in Gandia who said he did not appear in court because he did not have a lawyer and denied any wrong doing. He said it was “a very simple case”
but he did not wish to discuss the matter in the street. He said: “I will declare everything in front of a judge – things will go all the way to the Supreme Court, it will be in the courts for 10 or 15 years. The guilty one must pay.” TRUST
Dr Lee said: “I trusted this man because he was a respected businessman but I did not expect him to steal from me – and I cannot believe the arrogance of the guy.” She explained she had owned the villa for 25 years but had used a series of complex financial steps to ring fence the property – until she decided to sell the house and recruited Mr Montaner Berto to help market it. “I asked him if he would like to do a deal, and we drew up a contract giving him commission of 30 percent of the sale,” she said.
