Two months after learning of the crime for which Daniel Sancho is in prison, accused of murdering the Colombian surgeon Edwin Arrieta in Thailand, more details continue to be known about what will be the trial of the Spanish cook for what happened, and which could take place at over the next few weeks.
If found guilty, the son of actor Rodolfo Sancho could face the death penalty for malicious murder, that is, the death penalty. However, Daniel Sancho’s defense, led by media lawyer Marcos García Montes, is already working to prevent this and also obtain his return to Spain.
To answer these questions, the TardeAR program, presented by Ana Rosa Quintana on Telecinco, has spoken with one of the people who will decide what sentence Sancho will have to face: the spokesperson for the Attorney General’s Office of Thailand, Naron Srirasan . The journalist María Miñana has traveled to the Asian country to interview the prosecutor.
“The prosecutor is examining the file, the case involved the interrogation of approximately 19 witnesses, and there were many documents, approximately 40 objects and many seized in some areas,” explains Srirasan. Asked about the death penalty, he clarifies: “There is an accusation of premeditated murder, there is preparation, things that are bought. It is planned; there is also the crime of concealment and transfer of a corpse.”
Miñana was later interested in the possible reduction of the sentence for Daniel Sancho after confessing to the crime and collaborating with the police. “If the accused confesses, the court will consider whether the confession was made out of remorse, or whether he provided information to the court that would be useful in considering the case. If there is benefit, the court will reduce the sentence,” explained the spokesman for the Prosecutor’s Office. Thailand.
Srirasan has finally responded to whether Sancho can be extradited to Spain to be tried and serve his sentence in his country. “In that case it is at the discretion of the Government of Spain to request it or not, but in this case extradition can be complicated because the witnesses and evidence are all in Thailand, and the deceased was not Spanish,” he assured.
