The Sancho case trial is in its fourth week of sessions and one of the most important testimonies is already taking place, that of Daniel Sancho. The son of actor Rodolfo Sancho has offered the first part of his statement before the judge this Tuesday, where he has tried to prove that he did not kill Edwin Arrieta with premeditation.
Some words that will continue tomorrow, Wednesday, and that everything indicates that it could last the rest of the day. And, although at first it was said that the actor was not going to be present these days so as not to contaminate his own statement, he has finally been present when his own testimony was cancelled. And who has not been missing from the room has been Alice, Rodolfo’s companion in all these months.
This woman, who has been with the actor in all his appearances, has been going unnoticed until it became known that even Daniel Sancho came to name her in one of his statements to the Thai police during the investigation. “I will only testify before Miss Alice,” said the accused of Edwin Arrieta’s crime, as he has had access for 20 minutes.
Sources within the detainee’s defense team have pointed out to the aforementioned newspaper that this woman is an “advisor to the legal team hired by Rodolfo Sancho.” So it is not strange to see her with him at all times.
Among his duties, he is not only in charge of helping throughout the case, but also acting as an “interpreter.” Alice is Daniel’s father’s “trusted” person to translate from Thai to English, both outside and inside the court of Koh Samui.
But he doesn’t just help Rodolfo. Among his other tasks is to stand next to the accused during the sessions to “advise him on the lists of interrogations and allegations that have been made,” according to the newspaper.
And if her name has come to light now it is, above all, because it was pointed out, according to La Razón, that she could be the executor of a possible pact so that Daniel Sancho’s sentence is less. Some statements that the accused’s defense have denied in 20minutes. “This is totally and absolutely false, there is no agreement between Daniel and the Prosecutor’s Office,” they said.
Meanwhile, there is a lot of information that is coming out about the case. One of the latest has been offered by the program Vamos a ver, where they have reported that three police officers slept with Daniel Sancho at the crime scene just the night the actor’s son reported the disappearance of Edwin Arrieta.
