Antonio Tejado makes two unexpected requests to his family on his fourth day in prison

The nephew of Maria del Monte He entered the Sevilla 1 prison in Mairena del Alcor last Monday. Little by little he gets used to his new life behind bars and it has not been difficult for him, they say, to start making friends: “he is the king of prison.” He is calm and even somewhat bored, spending time between the gym and the library: “He has asked his family to bring him books when they come to visit him.”

It was the second request of Antonio Tejado to his closest circle since the judge ordered his entry into prison without bail. He made the first one on Monday and had to do, precisely, with the visits he will receive in the coming days: “He doesn't want to see his mother, he doesn't want his mother to go to jail. He has asked that he go alone his brother Chema”, they have assured in We'll see. And it's not that Tejado gets along badly with her mother, but quite the opposite: seeing her would break her soul. In fact, the prisoner has the right to do three calls a day and use two to talk to her, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. The third, for her girlfriend Samara.

María del Monte's nephew is in a respect module and is accompanied by a trusted prisoner who shows him how life in prison works. This is a common protocol that Penitentiary Institutions implemented years ago and has nothing to do with Tejado's alleged suicidal tendencies: “He doesn't want to commit suicide, it's not true. He has a partner because it's protocol, like all of them have.” people who enter prison for the first time,” said his lawyer, Fernando Fernández.

María del Monte declares

The singer María del Monte and his wife, the journalist Inmaculada Casal, will sit before the judge this Friday, February 16, to testify about the robbery they suffered in their home in Gines (Seville). The case began after they reported a robbery with violence and intimidation at her home last August. From then on, Operation Abgena was launched, an investigation that for six months has focused on a criminal gang dedicated to robbing luxury homes in Seville, and of which Tejado, whose phone was tapped, ©fono, is the alleged “intellectual author.”

Tejado now faces several crimes, such as robbery with violence or membership in a criminal gang, the penalties for which could be up to six years in prison. Last Monday, in the Court of Instruction number 16 of Seville, he availed himself of his right not to testify. He and five other people from the gang went to prison without bail. Two were released.
