Scam
[edit]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. However, due to his death in 2020, Sanz Cancio could not be judged for his participation in his son's scam.
