An investigation by Gardai and Interpol is underway regarding Claire Lopez, a wedding planner in Tenerife, accused of defrauding nearly 40 couples out of approximately €350,000. The situation came to light when Irish couple Sorcha McManigan and her fiancé Alan Kent lost €26,000 after Lopez announced her business was insolvent. They had paid a substantial portion of their wedding costs and were left without any vendors booked for their planned celebration. Following the revelation, McManigan has taken the lead in gathering information from other affected couples, who hail from various countries including Germany and the USA. Many have reported similar experiences, with some stating that Lopez's company had not paid any vendors for their services. The investigation has highlighted the challenges faced by victims, including the need for legal action to recover lost funds, which has proven costly. As of now, Lopez's business remains active according to Spain's business registry, further complicating the matter. The couple's experience has resonated with others, prompting a call for those affected to come forward and share their stories.
