Back in 2015-2017, Cesar Roman, the entrepreneur in Madrid, was having the time of his life. His business was widely known around Spain.
However, no one knew that Cesar had created this web of lies to make himself a household name.
The experienced scammer initially tried his luck in politics but was kicked out by the 4 political parties.
Later, he tried his hands in journalism, and since he didn’t pay the journalist and decided to pass fake news, he also crashed in that field.
After failing in almost everything, he decided to enter the world of hospitality and opened a venture named “King Of Cachopo” with his ex-wife, Nati.
Initially, everything seemed perfect, but soon after, it was disclosed that he hadn’t been paying his employees.
On July 30, 2018, he suddenly disappeared from the limelight, and since he hadn’t contacted his daughter as well, his family became concerned.
His sister, Gemma Roman, filed a missing report with the police.

After a month, on August 13, 2018, the body of a girl without a head and limbs was discovered in a warehouse rented by the Cesar.
