Heist: Billionaire Robbed at Oscar Hotel
Billionaire sugar baron, Pepe Fanjul, was robbed in his hotel room at the Beverly Hills Four Seasons Hotel at the height of Oscar week. Apparently, Pepe and his wife Emelia shared an elevator with the thief before the robbery. The thief wore a blue uniform with 'hotel' on it, imitating a member of the hotel staff. He spoke to Pepe in the elevator in Spanish. Later, when they were back at their hotel room, they heard a knock on the door. The man from the elevator was standing there and claimed to have shown up to 'fix their air conditioning'. They let him in and he robbed them of all their cash and jewelery. The jewelery stolen from Emelia is believed to be worth millions of dollars.
