Bogus 9/11 victim is from CataluñaTania Head, dismissed as the president of a 9/11 survivors group last week, is said to be Alicia Esteve Head from Barcelona
A woman suspected of being a bogus survivor of the 9/11 attack in New York, and dismissed last week as the president of a survivors’ group, is from Cataluña it seems.
Tania Head was dismissed as president of the Survivors Network, according to the New York Times, amid doubts on the veracity of her claim that she survived the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center twin towers, and was badly burned when she escaped.
She also claimed that her fiancé was killed in the North Tower, although none of his friends and relatives say they have ever heard of her.
It now appears from an article in La Vanguardia this Saturday that her real name is Alicia Esteve Head, and she is from Barcelona.
She is said to come from a well-known business family in the Catalan capital which was involved in the Planasdemunt scandal in 1992, and which saw her father and brother, Francisco Esteve Corbella and Francisco Javier Esteve Corbella Head, serving time for document forgery.
The EFE news agency says Alicia – or Tania – claimed she worked in Merrill Lynch offices in the South Tower, and had studied at Harvard and Stanford Universities. All three bodies have denied her claim.
