Ricardo Samper García

Ricardo Samper García is the newly appointed Director General of Grupo Forestalia, a Spanish energy company. He assumed the role on March 26th, following the resignation of his father, Fernando Samper Rivas, from the presidency. This change is presented as a separation of ownership and management, intended to strengthen the company's governance model. Fernando Samper's departure comes amidst an ongoing investigation by the UCO (Unidad Central Operativa) into potential corruption related to Forestalia's renewable energy projects. The appointment of Ricardo Samper García is seen as a significant development, occurring during a period of intense scrutiny for the company and its founder. The move is part of an internal protocol developed by the Cuatrecasas law firm.
