Agent who negotiated Casillas' move to Porto has four-year sentence for fraud upheld in Spanish court

The agent who facilitated Iker Casillas’ move from Real Madrid to Porto in 2015 has had a four-year prison sentence for fraud upheld in the Balearic Court of Justice.

Santos Marquez Gonzalez had appealed the sentence, initially handed to him in Palma Provincial Court in July 2019.

Marquez was found to have deceived his former partner, Jorge Ignacio S., convincing him that Casillas wanted to join a team in the United States and that their commission would be transferred to the account of Mallorca Viva SL, an agency both men had been partners in.
