Social Media Star Marta Hermoso Faces Charges After 400,000 Euro Heist

29-04-2025


Marta Hermoso, a 35-year-old influencer from Seville known for her lavish lifestyle and social media presence, has been arrested in Madrid alongside three other individuals. The group is accused of stealing valuables worth approximately 400,000 euros from a Mexican businessman at the upscale Wellington Hotel. The items taken included watches, jewelry, and cash, marking a significant heist that has captured public attention.

The incident unfolded after the businessman, Enrique Abascal, reported returning to his suite to find the door forced open and the safe removed from the wardrobe. Surveillance footage from the hotel played a crucial role in identifying Hermoso and her alleged accomplices, leading to their swift detention by the National Police. The case has since sparked widespread media coverage, with Hermoso opting to delete her social media profiles in the wake of the legal scrutiny.

Hermoso's background, characterized by her efforts to integrate into Madrid's elite circles and her high-profile social engagements, has come under the microscope. Associates describe her as selective in her social dealings, with a lifestyle that raised questions about her sources of income. While some have speculated about her involvement in high-end escort services, Hermoso has previously dismissed such claims, attributing her associations to modeling work.

The legal proceedings are ongoing, with Hermoso's defense maintaining her innocence and suggesting a case of mistaken identity. As the investigation continues, the case highlights the intersection of social media influence and criminal allegations, leaving followers and critics alike awaiting further developments.
