María del Monte, implacable: asks the judge that her nephew remain behind bars

The singer has sent a letter to the judge through her lawyer alleging that the argument she gave Antonio Tejado in court to defend himself was “confusing” and did not prove his “oblivion” to the facts. The great fear of the Sevillian is that evidence will be destroyed.

While two months have not yet passed since Antonio Tejado was admitted to provisional prison without bail (in Sevilla 1 prison since last February 12), his aunt Maria del Monte has taken a step forward so that the alleged criminal continues to pay for the crime of which he is accused. Thus, as reported Seville newspaperthe private accusation brought by both the singer and his wife, Immaculate Casalhas asked the judge who is investigating the assault on her home, through a letter sent to her by the lawyer who represents them, Francisco Baena Bocanegra, to maintain provisional prison for Antonio and deny him the conditional release that his defense requests for him. To do this, they have used as an argument that the evidence that indicates that Tejado was involved in the robbery are not “mere hypotheses or conjectures”, but rather the result of the “brilliant, thorough and precise criminal investigation carried out by the Judicial Police.” “. The same investigation that, according to Bocanegra, has left no room for doubt and that has pointed out María’s nephew as the “intellectual author” of the assault and robbery.

In fact, María del Monte and Inma, through their defense, have alleged in said document that Antonio’s statement made before the judge on March 15 was “confusing and not very illuminating,” and that neither it nor the allegations of His lawyers were sufficient to prove “his ignorance of such serious events.” “And we are very sorry,” they say, addressing the judge, before emphasizing that the words that Tejado offered to exonerate himself “they lack any dissuasive capacity to disavow the relentless investigative work carried out by the Civil Guard”. For this reason, they request that neither Tejado nor the other five investigated who are also in prison right now be released.

But the letter that Bocanegra has sent to the judge goes further. María del Monte’s lawyer has been very emphatic in urging: “If the situation is painful for Mr. Antonio Tejado, there is no need to make a great effort to achieve the suffering that all this has been causing Mrs. María del Monte., who, overcoming such a difficult situation, from the first moment publicly recognizing, as he has done, the right to the presumption of innocence that protects all suspects, without making distinctions of any kind, has accepted the action of Justice with the only claim is to discover the culprits, whoever they may be and whoever they are, and to repair the damages suffered, if possible. “There is no room for greater generosity,” he said. He also reminded the judge that it is more than evident that the robbery had the collaboration of someone very close, since not only did they have a lot of information about the house – whether or not there was service, how many people were in the home or that the door of the house had a fault in one of the fittings, among other things – but that the assailants had an apparent “empathy or consideration” with the victims and Inmaculada Casal referred to them as “the girl” , an affectionate nickname that people around her call her, like María del Monte or her mother.

The text also alludes to the close relationship that exists between Tejado and the Russian boxer. Arseny Garibyan, who “actively participated in the material execution of the robbery”, and remind him that the evidence indicates that Tejado, after speaking on the phone with Inmaculada about María del Monte’s return to Seville, waited only 27 seconds to later call Garibyan. For all this, and given the fear that he could destroy evidence (“because those in charge of disposing of the effects and objects of the crime have not yet been identified/located”), they have advised the judge “keep the investigated in his personal situation”. María doesn’t want to see her nephew. Above all, on the street.
