Daniel Sancho’s defense is getting complicated at times. Last Monday he faced the first hearing before the judge where the Prosecutor’s Office accused him of having premeditatedly murdered the Colombian surgeon Edwin Arrieta. Likewise, he was charged with two more charges: concealment of the body and destruction of other people’s documentation.
During the first day in court, the defendant denied two of the three accusations, only accepting that he had dismembered the victim’s body and scattered it around the Thai island. All of this is part of the strategy that his legal team in Spain, led by Marcos García Montes, has decided to adopt. Something that does not please the Thai lawyers, who do not want to accept his case.
Daniel Sancho has to return to court on November 27 and right now he does not have a lawyer in Thailand, as required by the country’s regulations. First, Rodolfo Sancho’s son had a lawyer, who he fired shortly after. And “yesterday Sancho’s legal team in Spain fired his second lawyer,” as revealed Let’s see.
But that is not all. The Court provided him with a public defender. But, given the strategy adopted, she “directly refused to work with them.” With this, there are now three lawyers who have been through the case in just three months.
After the news broke, the aforementioned program contacted the second. “Daniel has the right to confess that he did not do it, but listen, we insist that if he confesses, the entire sentence imposed on him will be reduced by half. If he decides not to confess and change his statement, the sentence he will receive will be very harsh. with few options to obtain reduction benefits,” he said.
Likewise, he wanted to make it clear that Daniel Sancho’s team did not want to continue working with him because he did not want to follow his strategy. One that “few lawyers can agree with.”
Likewise, he wanted to make it clear that in Thailand the strategy proposed by the Thai lawyer and not by the Spanish legal team must be followed, although they can intervene in the process. “They forced me to assume a defense that I did not share,” he added, very harshly, against the office of Marcos García Montes.
And, among other things, Grit Sudthanom has confessed that they also accused him of having leaked documentation to the press, and that they urged him to translate the Thai documents into Spanish and look for evidence to go against the Prosecutor’s Office and the police. “I am a simple public defender and this main task does not correspond to me,” he concluded.
