Antonio Tejado has been in prison since this morning. At 2 p.m. they were notified of the records where the judge of the investigating court number 16 of Seville, at the request of the prosecutor’s office, requested the entry into provisional prison, communicated and without bail for María del Monte’s nephew and 5 other people. All accused of alleged crimes of robbery with violence, illegal detention, injuries, threats and membership in a criminal organization. The Civil Guard considers Antonio Tejado the “intellectual author of the robbery” at the singer’s home, which occurred last August, and they also point to him as the person in charge of providing information about the house, the routine of the owners and victims, the location of the safe and also as the person who was in charge of selecting the homes.

Tejado’s family is in shock, but his circle recognizes that they knew of his possible criminal activities. “They suspected what he might be up to, but perhaps they didn’t imagine that he had anything to do with the theft of María’s home,” says a family source. It is possible that the singer already had some suspicion, taking into account that the Civil Guard, since the investigation began, warned her that one of those responsible must belong to her most personal or even family circle. The “condescension” of the robbers with the people who were at the home that day, María del Monte, his wife, the journalist Inmaculada Casal, and two other people, caused the focus to soon be placed on the singer’s nephew. .

Antonio, perhaps in his intention not to raise suspicions, appeared a few hours after the robbery occurred at his aunt’s home. At 9 in the morning on August 25, and only when 4 hours had passed since the robbery, where they were tied up and threatened with death if they did not give them the key to the safe, Antonio showed up at the home and spent the entire tomorrow comforting them.

Another issue that alerted the investigators is that the robbers went “shot and done”, they only entered the room where the loot they wanted to take was located and they knew where to look and what to request.

Tejado has been able to speak with his mother, the first one he notified was his brother and his brother his mother. Antonio’s mother, according to her circle, points to the bad company of her son, who he admitted years ago to being addicted to alcohol and drugs and which he was trying to remedy. She has asked him to collaborate with justice in everything.

The family had warned him about these companies on more than one occasion. The ringleader of the plot is a well-known boxer, owner of a gym where Tejado went. Since he left television he barely had any income, he worked or helped in the family bar, and his behavior was uneven. The singer and his wife have stated that they feel terrible and do not want to get ahead of events. María spoke to the media yesterday and expressed herself like this: “this is not a good time. I’m not going to speak out and I’m certainly not one to suspect anyone. Suspicions are not good and I do not suspect anyone until a judge says what he has to say.”
