We’ve been counting these days, the groom is Francis Franco Martinez-Bordiu, Franco’s great-grandson. Her parents are arms dealers Abdul Rahman El Assir and María Fernández Longoria. As we say in his day, the parties held a discreet civil ceremony in Madrid.

The wedding took place in the United Arab Emirates, the residence of the bride’s father and best man. The Lebanese businessman has been a close friend of Don Juan Carlos for forty years. The former monarch and arms dealer met through mutual friends and their love of hunting brought them together. Abdul Rahman El Assir was first married to Dodi Al-Fayed’s mother, Samira Khashoggi, who died on 31 August 1997 with Ms Di.

The couple, who have been friends since childhood, got engaged last summer due to the friendship between their respective mothers. Juan Jose Franco, who pays little attention to tabloids and evening parties, inherited a passion for hunting from his father, and in 2004 founded the Henst Company, which organizes hunts in Spain, Africa and Argentina.

Khali works in the real estate market and is a close friend of Tamara Falcó, which is why Isabel Preysler’s daughter couldn’t miss the wedding. They were Jerlomon’s neighbors. The bride’s sister, Alia El Assir, married Hugo Linares at the Swiss ski resort of Gstaad in 2016 for a 3-day trip to Borton, where guests travelled on several private jets chartered by the family, including Tamara Falcó, his sister and Ana Boyer or Ana Aznar and Alonso Agag.

The wedding was on Tuesday the 8th.

Several media outlets are insisting on an early “marriage”, three weeks after the daughter of an arms dealer and friend of King Juan Carlos married Franco’s great-grandson. At Informalia, we deny that the incident took place at the time, and we have anticipated that the link will take place at a later date. Here’s the thing: there was a dinner party this Monday, but the religious wedding was on Tuesday, despite the fact that the couple married in Madrid not long ago in a civilized, discreet way.

Felipe VI’s father was also invited at the time, although he declined his help. This time he had an easier time because he had lived there for more than two years. Another thing is that he tries to advertise his presence very little because his friend and best man at the wedding is a persecuted man in Spain, which can be explained as another stain on Don Juan Carlos. Abdul Rahman El Assir, from Lebanon, has been subject to an Interpol arrest warrant and extradition to Spain since 2019. Here, the prosecutor’s office asked for an eight-year prison term and a payment of nearly 90 million euros for defrauding the Ministry of Finance. He also has pending accounts in Portugal, France and Switzerland.

Additionally, El Assir has engaged its entire security team in the event. It’s her protection and safety that are key, which is why her daughter’s wedding was more low-key than her sister’s in 2016, when they paralyzed Gstaad for three days.
