It was in July 2020 when it came to light that Leo Clerc was found guilty of committing fraud, falsification of titles and money laundering, for which he was sentenced to up to 18 months in prison in his native Switzerland.
At that time, Grettell confessed that She had been aware of the situation for a long time, since they would have been crimes that he committed during his youth, more than 10 years ago.
Valdez assured that she trusted her husband completely and expected him to make amends for her crimes.
“I fully trust my husband and I also believe in second chances (…) He is doing everything to make up for the mistake he made. I think we all are worthy of second chances in all aspects”, he shared through his social networks.

As revealed Windowing, the fraud would have been committed using credit cards that belonged to the Swiss transnational company where Clerc worked as an accountant. The money was used by Leo and his ex-partner to be able to travel to different countries like Morocco, Polynesia, Thailand, Milan, Venice, Japan, China, Greece, Cannes and Maldives.
When the facts were revealed, Leo shared through a statement that he regretted this situation and repented of the crimes he had committed. He called the fraud a “mistake” of his youth and assured that he was doing everything possible to make it right.
Supposedly, the figure involved in the crimes would amount to < b>1 million 700 thousand Swiss francs, the equivalent of 41 million 470 thousand 725 Mexican pesos, of which at that time it had only been able to return approximately 1 million pesos.
So that Clarc could recover part of the money, he dedicated himself to working in Switzerland, where he would have withdrawn his passport so that he would not leave the country. In fact, the last time Grettell shared news about her then-husband was that he would spend the 2020 December holidays in Mexico, since he had managed to obtain special permission to do so.
