Fernando Martín
Fernando Martín is a prominent Spanish businessman known for his role as the president of the Real Madrid football club and as the founder of the real estate company Martinsa, which became one of the largest property developers in Spain. Born in 1946, he led Martinsa through significant growth during the 1990s, acquiring vast amounts of land and forming partnerships with major companies like BBVA and Banco Santander. His tenure at Real Madrid was brief, lasting only two months in 2006 before resigning amid controversies. Martín's business career faced a downturn after the 2008 financial crisis, leading to Martinsa's bankruptcy. Recently, he made headlines by confessing to his involvement in a corruption scandal connected to the Gürtel case, admitting to paying a €25 million bribe to secure a lucrative real estate deal.
