La Fundación O´Belén comienza su andadura económica en la provincia de Guadalajara, donde gracias a los contactos de sus impulsores se hace con la concesión de importantes contratos para gestionar centros de menores. El modelo de negocio se basa en contratar personal pobremente cualificado ofreciendo salarios muy por debajo de lo establecido en el sector. Los centros son edificados por algunos de los empresarios “altruistas” que le acompañaban en 1999, concretamente el Grupo Lábaro recibe importantes sumas de la administración sin tener que pasar por los concursos requeridos en el pasado, puesto que ahora Pinto is in charge of deciding who to allocate public funds obtained under the umbrella of the foundation.

Faced with complaints from workers and complaints of their own kids in 2007 began the social action against O'Belén network, which would lead to a multitude of events, demonstrations, rallies and acts of rejection that still continues. The framework O'Belén

has claimed the lives of at least three adolescents: Sarah Grant (14 years) which was launched in the van that took her back to House Young, Amrani Hamid (13 years) who hanged himself while in isolation, and Picon de Jarama David (12 years) died under mysterious circumstances in Baix Vinalopó.
