Scam

Francisco Sanz Cancio was accused in 2017 of knowing and collaborating in a scam run by his son, Francisco José Sanz González de Martós, who exaggerated the disease he suffered from (Cowden Syndrome) in order to receive a huge amount of donations of actors, YouTubers and other celebrities, raising over 200.000 euros that was spent on luxuries and things not included in the supposed treatment of his illness.
