The arrest of Antonio Tejado for allegedly being the intellectual author of the robbery suffered by his aunt, María del Monte, last August in Seville continues to cause a lot of talk. On Wednesday afternoon, the Telecinco program Así es la vida exclusively broadcast the testimony of the alleged recipient of the jewelry stolen from María del Monte.
This mysterious man, who shared a cell with Antonio Tejado, revealed to the Mediaset space investigation team the version he gave about the events and the attitude that the former television collaborator had after being detained by the Civil Guard on February 9.
The alleged recipient of the stolen jewelry confessed that he melted the gold and converted it into ingots to sell. ”A kilo is three thousand or four thousand euros in two minutes,” he said. Although he acknowledged that he did not verify the origin of the merchandise and did not know if what he was selling was legal or not.
Regarding Antonio Tejado’s attitude, this man claimed that the singer’s nephew denied everything from the beginning. ”He told me that ”it may be that at some point due to the effects of drugs and alcohol I could have talked about my family’s house but without any intention of being robbed…it may be but I have never said anything. from my aunt,”” he declared.
Furthermore, according to the alleged recipient of the jewelry, Antonio Tejado firmly believed that “he was going to be released.” But when he realized that the situation was very different he collapsed. ”He believed he was going out. When they told him that he was going to go to jail he was defeated and started crying like a little child. “He hugged us,” he confessed.
Finally, he clarified that what was stolen from María del Monte’s house were watches with precious stones that ended up being sold to friends of his or people in the Marbella area. ”If I offer you a watch worth 10,000 euros and I sell it to you for 2,500, then people will buy it,” he said. At this time, he is free with charges awaiting trial, but he explained that “they had not declared any and that they had told him that the cake was like that and that it had a minimal part.”
”They have taken about 20 or 30 watches from me. My life is to buy gold and it’s all illegal (…) I have to sit down and see what there is about me, what there isn’t about me, I don’t know if it’s gold or watches. I don’t know what they tell me. “I don’t know if I have had them, if I haven’t had them, if I have sold them or I haven’t sold them,” he pointed out.
