The Edwin Arrieta murder case continues to be one of the central issues of today. At the beginning of August we learned the shocking news that Daniel Sancho had confessed to the crime and the dismemberment of the body of the well-known Colombian surgeon on an island in Thailand.

Since then, the son of actor Rodolfo Sancho remains in provisional detention in Koh Samui prison waiting for the trial to be held. After weeks of anticipation for the interpreter’s visit to the Thai prison, Rodolfo Sancho landed in the Asian country last week to see his son for the first time.

After going to jail for three days to see the Spanish chef, the actor headed back to Madrid, from where he issued a new statement this Thursday through his team of lawyers. And the latest information that has emerged about the case does not bode well for the actor’s son. Furthermore, to this we must add that the interpreter decided a few days ago to dispense with the services of the Thai lawyer who was working hand in hand with the Spanish B law firms.

”As spokespersons for Rodolfo Sancho, and members of the legal-criminological team of support and advice in the defense of Daniel Sancho, together with the Marcos García-Montes law firm, we want to point out the following:

Indeed, Daniel Sancho has dispensed, last Thursday, September 7, before the Provincial Court of the island of Koh Samui, and due to discrepancies in the defense, of the services of the Thai lawyer Kunh Anan, expressly thanking the work done by this lawyer until the moment. Likewise, Rodolfo Sancho has joined in this gratitude.

In this sense, when contacted by Mr. Anan’s Law Office, he assures that he has not made any statement regarding any controversy between both legal teams. In fact, MR. García-Montes has NEVER had contact with the pre-appointed Thai lawyer.

The visits of Marcos García-Montes, accompanying Rodolfo Sancho on his trip to Thailand, have been made with the sole purpose of gathering information that is considered fundamental for the work that is being carried out in Spain. Of support and collaboration with the interests of the Spanish citizen Daniel Sancho. With respect, as it cannot be otherwise, to the legislation, jurisdiction and international treaties signed by the Kingdom of Thailand,” the statement concludes.
