On August 3, Netflix premieres The Last Hours of Mario Biondo, a documentary about the Italian cameraman and his notorious death in 2013. It will be a three-episode miniseries in true crime format, which has not been without controversy in recent years. months. The family of the deceased refused to participate in the production after completing the recordings, and now another figure who should have been behind the camera has also spoken.
The criminologist Óscar Tarruella, a former police agent, has published a video with his predictions about the contents of this documentary, in which he also declined to participate. A 24-minute recording in which he points out and denies different data that the docuseries will show starting this coming Thursday. In the same way, he points to Raquel Sánchez Silva for knowing erotic self-asphyxiation techniques, something that does not coincide with a statement she made in the past.
To set the context, Mario Biondo was found dead on May 30, 2013, in the apartment where he lived in Madrid. The until then husband of the presenter was found in unusual circumstances, half hanged with a silk scarf that hung from a shelf. Although it was initially thought that he had taken his own life, Italian justice ruled in 2022 that it had actually been a murder disguised as an apparent suicide.
“Raquel assured in a statement that Mario and his sister played choking games when they were little … And her sister has declared that it is false. However, a witness close to the widow’s entourage states that, in reality, the one who played these erotic self-suffocation games was Raquel, who would have learned it in England. This statement is recorded, exposed in a report and is available to a judge in Madrid, ”Tarruella pointed out in her video.
In the same way, he attacked the television personality after discovering that it was related to the production of the piece: “The documentary is produced by Raquel Sánchez Silva’s ex-manager, something that was hidden from us at all times, so that we would record without knowing that he was this subject behind. Let’s remember that, recently, a reality show presented by the same presenter premiered on Netflix, which in show business slang, we could call closing the pack”.
“There is a scene that simulates an individual who calls Santina to offer his services and give him technical data to prove that Mario was not alone the day he died, that is impossible. The companies keep this data for one year, maximum two… And, in the documentary, they are going to try to sell us this story, as if this were an investigation team on the subject. The family already knew that this company is only dedicated to fraud, because we had discovered that ”, he declared.
