Overview
- The appellate order instructs Investigative Court No. 22 in Barcelona to admit the complaint and determine what diligences to carry out, including potential summonses.
- The complaint alleges a woman invested more than €100,000 on promises of roughly 6% annual returns and later failed to recover the promised benefits or her capital.
- The filing centers on investments routed through Core Store and Hong Kong‑based CSSB Limited, entities linked in the case materials to the four named figures.
- Judges flagged red flags such as incomplete information on fund use, use of illiquid companies, reliance on the participants’ prestige, mismatched portrayals of solvency, and ordinary loans labeled as participative or share commitments.
- The decision follows earlier proceedings, including a larger €4.7 million case and files that were archived after prosecutors attributed losses to poor management, and it does not constitute a finding of guilt.
