Fergie Chambers, el activista millonario detenido en Ibiza: “Soy un defensor de los derechos humanos”

On July 10, a foreign couple seeking to move to Ibiza were driving through a rural road in the north of the island to visit a school for their child. They were James and Stella, Fergie Chambers. James inherited a fortune from one of the wealthiest families in the United States, the Cox group, which earns $20 billion annually. James, 41, is a pro-Palestinian activist who identifies as Marxist-Leninist and a revolutionary.

Stella, 41, is an actress, producer, and daughter of the filmmaker behind films like Before the Night Falls, which earned Javier Bardem an Oscar nomination in 2001.

Stella told EL PAÍS in a Madrid hotel that suddenly, five cars appeared: three in front and two behind. They had no police markings. Three women and three men got out and told them they were National Police agents who had to arrest Fergie for money laundering accusations. They took him immediately. Stella was completely shocked, even though the political climate in the United States had always been a concern in her mind.
