Cinema.Rosa Maria Sardà, the actress who returned the Cross of Sant Jordi because a "corrupt" (Jordi Pujol) gave it to her
There are loves that break after so much use and there are loves that (almost) kill.
Josep Maria Mainat i Castells
(73) and
Ángela Margarita Dobrowolski Garrido
(37) star in the script of what could be a
desktop
thriller
.
On the night of June 22-23, his wife went to his room to give him an insulin overdose because the producer is diabetic. The victim
had hypoglycemia and went into a coma
, for which he had to be hospitalized for several days.
After waking up,
first he said was
"It was her, she wanted to kill me."
Why did Angela act that way?
The marriage had been separated since the beginning of this year, but what boiled his wife's blood was discovering in a few
emails
what
Mainat wanted a divorce and that she would not see a euro
There is talk of a
fortune that could be around 70 million euros
.
The couple has two children, Jana (8) and Joan Ramon (5),
named after the deceased brother of the
trinco
Do not forget that
together with Toni Cruz and Miquel Àngel Pascual
founded in 1985 the
Gestmusic producer,
that for years reigned on television grills with spaces as well known as
Martian Chronicles
, The national parody and the balls
Triumph operation
Y
Your face is familiar to me
.
In 2002,
they sold it to the Dutch producer Endemol for € 90 million
In addition, Josep Maria has
other lucrative companies
, as Fincas Flash SL, dedicated to the rental of real estate that in its last presentation of accounts four years ago had a share capital of almost 11.5 million euros, Corporación Tanam SL (carries out commercial strategies, audiovisual productions and advises on creativity) o Reset.tv, dedicated to the creation of new television formats.
Pol Mainat
(45), the only child he had with
recently deceased actress
Rosa Maria Sardà,
took care of
process the complaint by accusing your stepmother
.
For this criminal act, the Mossos d'Esquadra arrested Ángela and a judge decreed her release with charges and without bail.
The protagonist of this news has
two other children adopted from a couple after the break with Sardà
, but they have always remained ostracized.
This gruesome story has been revealed this week exclusively
The vanguard
As if that were not enough, after the attempt to end the life of her husband, on September 21,
the mossos arrested Angela again for forging Mainat's signature
to cash two checks for 4,100 euros.
The case is currently prosecuted.
Olga tubau
, the businessman's lawyer, has commented to LOC that "the judicial investigation has yet to be started to collect or discard evidence
to see if in the end the issue goes ahead for murder or attempted murder
"For now, labeling homicide or murder are embryonic labels that are taken as a starting point. If Angela is finally accused of murder, she would face a
jail sentance
between 5 and 10 years, and if it is murder it would be 7 and a half to 15. The judge will soon call the witnesses to testify. Until their separation, they all lived in the immense property that the businessman owns in the
noble area of the Horta-Guinardó district in Barcelona
where, curiously,
Across the street, they live in a flat Dionisia Garrido Quesada
(mother of the accused) and
Nadine carmen
(sister of the accused).
Previously, both were in Tíjola (Almería).
Angela has another sister named
Juliane Stephanie
.
The three were born in Germany and nothing is known about the father. It is said that Angela was studying the last year of her medical degree and that she had previously dedicated herself to marketing.
In fact, she had founded the already.
extinct Neodiet company,
intended for nutritional and micronutrient supplements and
import and marketing of dietary products
.
Since they began their relationship in Barcelona around 2010, the social profile of this woman of German origin has been zero.
Her face could be seen in 2013 on the show
The invitee
of TV3, where the young woman assured in Catalan that she did not know that her husband was famous.
In this regard, Mainat pointed out: "When I met Angela, who came from Germany,
I had to put the videos of the Trinca
and it was a three-day session. "So far,
the defendant's past is a mystery.
His was love at first visa. For a day LOC was calling Josep Maria without success.
Either he didn't pick up the phone or he cut it off.
The only statements after posting a video on the networks in which he made clear his pro-independence political ideology were given to some colleagues
Save me
: "I'm fine,
the investigation is ongoing and we will see how it evolves. "
Something normal if we take into account that Telecinco has bought many of its television formats and is following the case to the minute: at the close of this edition, a woman was leaving her house screaming with three suitcases and assured on camera that Angela was in love with her ex boyfriend, "a
escort
Latino ". To understand the
Mainat personality
You have to go back to his childhood in Canet de Mar, a Barcelona municipality that then had the only textile engineering school in Europe (the designer Armand Basi studied there) and the largest concentration of modernist architecture in the world.
Mainat owns the house that belonged to his brother Joan Ramon,
located a few meters from the home where he grew up, next to the Escala del Sant Crist where, by the way, Javier Sardà (62) owns a 22,000 square meter farm.
I was a street kid
who loved to play
One, two, three, little English bird
.
He loved going out with Toni Cruz and Miquel Àngel Pascual, with whom he founded in 1969 the group that would make them millionaires,
La Trinca.
Mainat had a strange duality.
She sang in the choir and at masses, she was a Catalanist.A childhood friend remembers that
it was too much
He looked over his shoulder and
he treated those who came from Barcelona with a certain disdain.
These were the rich because they went to town only to rest in the summer.
The Mainats were such a humble family
that if the crops did not bear fruit they did not have to buy shoes.The funniest moments occurred in the Riera Lledoners, where the small waves that formed after the torrential rains that came down with force from Arenys de Munt used to jump and, once the water reached the sea, it entered the mudflats to catch toads and dissect them.
Feeling superior to others was a fundamental weapon
when he co-founded the musical trio and, above all, with the creation of Gestmusic, a production company that gave birth to some of the most successful programs of the last decades, since
Martian Chronicles
to
Triumph operation
, going by
Do not laugh that is worse
, The national parody o
Your face is familiar to me
.
One of the usual members of the debate space
Moors and Christians
(moderated in the first season by his brother-in-law, Javier Sardá, and the second by Jordi González) confesses to LOC that
"He was a dictator, a despot, he treated people very badly.
Obviously with the main characters he acted differently. "
That is why he got on so well with Rosa Maria Sardá,
her partner for three decades, mother of her only son, Pol (45) and deceased four months ago from lymphatic cancer.
The actress was tough, rude to journalists
and with a fearsome character.
But there is no doubt that Mainat and Sardá had the gift and the talent to entertain the masses.
Laughter is certainly a great disguise.
