The Prosecutor’s Office requests a sentence of 16 years in prison for Angela Drobowolski for trying to murder her ex-husband, Josep Maria Mainat. After three years of investigation, the public ministry considers that the ex-wife of the television mogul tried to end the life of her husband at dawn from June 22 to 23, 2020, injecting him with insulin despite the fact that it was contraindicated for the type of diabetes that he suffered from what caused him a hypoglycemic coma.
According to the indictment, the motive for the crime was financial. Dobrowolski was excluded from her will in the event that the divorce process that they were beginning ended, so she tried to kill him for that reason. “Since 10 years of marriage had not elapsed, according to what was established in the marriage agreements, the economic means available to Dobrowolski in the event of divorce were greatly diminished,” the prosecutor indicated. Faced with this situation, her writing underlines, she “decided to end the life of her husband before she filed a lawsuit for separation or divorce.” Therefore, a few months before, she checked the personal email of her husband and she was sent to her account to review the terms of the divorce proceedings.
In the early morning of June 23, taking advantage of the fact that she had slept over and after a heated argument, Dobrowsolki woke up her husband “by surprisingly telling him that she had to inject him with a medicine to lose weight, a medicine that Mainat had been taking for a long time as part of a anti aging treatment. uring the night Dobrowolski entered Mainat’s bedroom thirteen times. Aware that there were cameras recording her, the woman opened the refrigerator and hid behind the door to handle the doses. The man, “semi-conscious and in order to avoid another discussion and continue sleeping” allowed him to do so, taking advantage of his still-wife to administer the injections.
However, according to the prosecution, what he actually injected was “a mixture of rapid-acting and long-acting insulin, aware of the foreseeable fatal consequences and knowing that Mainat had never treated this disease with insulin because it was contraindicated. In addition, Dobrowolski knew that during her sleep, her husband would not be able to notice the symptoms of hypoglycemia-low blood sugar-and consequently react to them, says the prosecutor.
From that moment on, the accused was measuring the evolution of Mainat’s sugar with a glucometer in order to calculate when her coma would be irreversible, until at 3:12 in the morning she called the emergency services ” for the sole purpose of concealing their behavior in attempting to evade their responsibility.” After the injections, Dobrowolski checked her husband’s glucose level up to five times. The call came twenty minutes after the last measurement when Mainat’s condition, according to the glucometer, indicated that she was in a coma and at risk of death.
