The defense lawyer has explained that Tejado has

"flatly" denied

before the investigating judge "that he has provided any information" to the alleged perpetrators of the robbery for the commission of the robbery.

According to Tejado's defense lawyer, the latter has assured the judge that

he has "no connection" with the detainees

except in the case of Arseny G., alleged leader of the criminal group and with whom he has a

"strictly sporting" relationship,

since Since this other person was a boxing figure, he would have asked him to train him personally, given his love for this practice.

Regarding the previous telephone call from Tejado to Arseny G. before the assault, the accused allegedly claimed

not to remember the content of the conversation

due to the time that had elapsed;

adding that regarding the calls to her aunt and owner of the house, also before the events and that the investigation connects with

the confirmation that the artist would be in the house

and therefore there would be someone who knew how

to open the safe;

The accused would have claimed that he intended to give her a

puppy

that she had ordered for him.

According to his version of the matter, as the defense lawyer has explained, the artist had

commissioned him to purchase a puppy

for her home and he, after obtaining it, was interested in going to deliver it to her because the dog had already been in his home for several days, meaning what this implies and he also wanted to go on vacation for a few days.

REQUEST FOR PROVISIONAL FREEDOM

He has told the truth

and each step taken in the investigation brings us closer to that truth, which benefits Antonio," said his lawyer, explaining that

he will request his client's provisional release

"as soon as possible." ".

After Antonio Tejado, he appeared before Judge

Arseny G.,

who is also in

provisional prison, notified and without bail,

and who would have corroborated Tejado's thesis in the sense that the only relationship between the two is sports, by

sharing a gym

To this end, the investigated Antonio Tejado, nephew of the artist "and in concert with the rest of those involved,

agreed to open the safe

of the house, from which the assailants "They seized

He states that "in order to make possible the end of the robbery described,

intellectual author of the act,

he described the rooms of the property and made possible access to the material and direct authors of the violent robbery for the theft with illicit benefit.

The order thus specifies that María del Monte, his wife and three other people who were inside the house

"suffered the violent and coercive robbery

with disproportionate use of physical force by the perpetrators, with a situation of

great danger to their integrity."
