His lawyers sue the author and publisher of the book ‘Killing in Thailand’

The defense of the Spanish chef is not enough. Barely 48 hours after having filed an appeal against Daniel Sancho’s sentence in the Thai court (after having requested three extensions), Daniel Sancho’s lawyers are studying launching a new judicial procedure, this time as plaintiffs of Joaquín Campos, the journalist and author of the book Killing in Thailand: the true story between Daniel Sancho and Edwin Arrieta. The 240-page work was published this Wednesday and claims, among other things, that the murder of Edwin Arrieta was premeditated and that the motive was financial.

Campos is a Spanish journalist living in Thailand who followed the case of Daniel Sancho from the first minute. The information collected, made up of unpublished details from police reports, the trial sessions and the statements of numerous witnesses, has been transformed into this book that has greatly upset Rodolfo Sancho’s entourage. His legal team, made up of Marcos García Montes, Carmen Balfagón and Ramón Chipirrás, is very angry and, according to Readingsare studying taking legal measures in the coming days due to the statements made by Campos and advance: “He will have to prove everything he has said.”

The confrontation between Campos and Sancho’s defense goes back a long way. The journalist was one of the guests to talk about Edwin Arrieta’s crime in various Spanish media and was involved in some live scuffles with Carmen Balfagón. For example, in the program Mañaneros, on TVE: “There is no such thing as money that Joaquín says, there was no economic motive. I hope that Mr. Joaquín Campos, if he has it, will show it too, because it is okay to talk without teaching anything.” “She then said very angry. The journalist, however, did not remain silent: “It is a part that I take for the book and when you read it you will understand it very well, but apart from this a person who has been lying for a long time is not going to give me lessons, confusing and distorting since he took part in Daniel Sancho’s defense”.
