Karina Jelinek Says She Lent Ex-Husband Leonardo Fariña $42,000 and Won’t Get It Back

She describes an undocumented loan made during their marriage.

Overview

  • Jelinek disclosed on América’s Infama that she loaned Fariña $42,000 and now considers the money lost.
  • She recounted that he said he could not access funds at the time and promised to return double.
  • She said the money was presented to her as capital for a business but later learned it went to poker.
  • Jelinek said she sought a receipt, he refused, and she proceeded without paperwork because they were married.
  • Outlets report no independent documentation of the loan and no public response from Fariña; he is widely known for his role as a cooperating witness in the Ruta del dinero K case.
