The witness protected from the trial for the shooting crime of the mayor of Polop (Alicante), Alejandro Ponsoda , of the PP, has affirmed that his successor in the mayor's office, the also popular Juan Cano , commissioned the murder, some time before That happened at the hands of others.

This has been assured by the protected witness that involves the seven defendants, including Juan Cano, in the third session of the jury trial that is followed in the Provincial Court of Alicante for the crime, where he has been separated from those accused by two screens.

He pointed out that the meeting took place in one of the reserved ones of the hostess club Messalina, where he said he worked as a goalkeeper for 70 euros a day, and added that there were also the footwear entrepreneur Salvador Ros , the owner of the brothel , Pedro Hermosilla ; the manager of the establishment, Ariel Alberto Gatto , and a couple of those who do not remember the identity because, in addition, they did not speak.

The protected witness said that he "was not interested" in materializing this assignment and has clarified that it was not for money, the 35,000 euros offered, but because he wanted to leave the "underworld" in which he lived , with work in clubs Nightlife in Benidorm and La Cala de Finestrat.

He has indicated that Cano and the other people asked him if he knew the procedure of carrying out the crime and the payment, and has continued that he explained it and that he offered the names of two friends who were also porter clubs , the Czech defendants Radim Rakowski and Robert Franek , although he has insisted that he does not know if they finally did the job.

He said he raised the names of Radim and Robert because, "even if it sounds bad," they were his friends and he wanted to give them work and the consequent income.

Among the people who commissioned the crime was the one who was known in the club "the director", in reference to the employment of Cano before being councilman and mayor as director of an office of the extinct Caja Mediterráneo (CAM) in Polop.

The protected witness has assured that the protection law he enjoys has not benefited him but quite the opposite , since his life is a "chaos" since in the last twelve years he has had to change his address eight times and several times of city , until living at the moment in a destiny that has not wanted to specify.

He has reported that he lives under the protection of the Civil Guard for the death threats he has "for life" ("I have a target on his back"), and added that years ago he was tried to bribe for an indeterminate amount of money, what he rejected.

The statement of this protected witness is crucial in the case because his testimony incriminated Cano and the rest of the defendants, for whom 25 years in prison are requested in the case of the politician, the businessman and those responsible for the hostess club , while for the three alleged hitmen (the two Czechs and Raúl Montero) the request is 27 to add the possession of weapons.
