Big Brother 14 was one of the most controversial editions of the Mediaset reality star in recent years. Some public figures who currently have some recognition in our society participated: the influencer Susana Molina, the businessman Gonzalo Montoya, the actress and television collaborator Desirée Rodríguez, etc.
However, if one contestant caught the attention of the viewers, it was Igor Basurko. Rude, strategist, sharp and special, the Basque managed to enter the play-off after having the audience against him and taking a more than deserved second place.
During his stay on the Telecinco reality show, the man spoke openly about his gambling addiction, something that had cost him many troubles throughout his life. Although he seemed to have changed companies and to be a man focused on his future and that of his son, a few months ago it came to light that the Prosecutor’s Office was asking him for 5 years in prison for a crime of continued fraud. .
However, at the end of March, the media outlet El Español exclusively published that the Guipuzkoa Court had acquitted the former athlete and that he was free of charges after thoroughly studying the alleged crime he had allegedly committed.
Months after being acquitted and celebrating that he would not have to go to prison, Basurko will sit in the dock again in a matter of weeks for allegedly selling a vehicle for people with disabilities in a second-hand store that he had misappropriated. along with a second person involved.
It seems that the former professional hockey player did not learn his lesson and resorted to illegality for profit. On this occasion, the accused faces a crime of aggravated fraud in medial competition with another crime of theft, which translates into a request for four years in prison and the payment of a fine that amounts to up to 1,620 euros.
The Prosecutor’s Office also requests a sentence of two and a half years in prison for the second man prosecuted in this same case, a partner with whom he committed the crime. El Español also confirmed in an article that, in the past, Igor Basurko spent a year and a half serving a prison sentence for three crimes that he committed under an alleged “state of alienation” that caused his gambling addiction and the bad company he kept. .
