María del Monte and his wife will testify tomorrow at 9:30 in the morning before the judge of the 16th investigative court in Seville. The rounds of statements related to the robbery at his home on August 25 begin, but they will not be the only ones. Along with them, the other three people who were at the home on the day of the robbery have been summoned, the daughter of the journalist Inmaculada Casas, her husband and the domestic worker.
It is their first statement before the judge, since before they only did it in the Civil Guard. The investigation is still in the investigation phase and is the first step taken by Judge Juan Gutiérrez after sending 6 people to preventive detention last Monday the 12th, including Antonio Tejado, the singer’s nephew, accused of being the “intellectual author.” ” of the crime.
Today we knew about this summons, but on Tuesday afternoon it was also known that the singer and his wife had appeared as a private prosecutor in the case. They have entrusted their representation to the famous office of a well-known Sevillian criminal lawyer, Francisco Baena Bocanegra. Being involved in the process also allows them to know how the investigation is taking place and the data that is being contributed to it.
Baena Bocanegra, 82 years old, is not unknown to justice, quite the contrary, he is a highly reputable lawyer who throughout his years of career has defended aristocrats, politicians, judges and celebrities, in addition, of course, to many others. customers. More than 20 years ago, he defended the late Duke of Feria, Rafael Medina, who was convicted of drug trafficking and corruption of minors. He was also a lawyer for some of the falsely accused in the so-called Arny Case, of which he obtained acquittal.
He has defended Baltasar Garzón, who ended up convicted; He has also represented politicians from various parties, including Jesulín de Ubrique’s wife, María José Campanario, who was also finally sentenced to two years in prison. In Seville there is a saying, among members of the judiciary, which they say is considered a compliment: “If you are guilty, Baena Bocanegra will defend you.”
In this case María and his wife are the victims, but thinking about such a prestigious criminal gives evidence of the intentions of the two. At the same time that this step of the singer was known, Antonio Tejado’s lawyer, Francisco Fernández Velo, declared on Telecinco’s TardeAR program that he alleged his client’s innocence, stating that he does not lead any gang and that he will ask for his freedom. Likewise, he added that nothing was found in the search of his house, as had been initially reported. It has also been ruled out that he was one of the 5 attackers at María del Monte’s house that day.
