"I had nothing to do with his death," admits

Alin Bogdan. It is the first time that

Cristina Ortiz

's boyfriend 'La Veneno'

speaks publicly about what happened regarding her strange death. The Romanian sits in front of the cameras of the

Investigation Team

(Atresmedia) to shed some light on an already quite dark case. On November 5, 2016, the artist was admitted to La Paz for supposedly an accidental fall. She had bruises on her hands, feet, cheekbones, lips, instep... On November 9 she passed away.

Friends and family of Cristina Ortiz continue to insist that

it was not an accident at home.

There are many loopholes to be resolved and they want the case to be reopened. Bogdan goes further and confesses that "we had plans to go to Romania, pay a girl to have a child and get married. And then go on TV to present myself as her last partner." A statement that completely contradicts the letter sent to the program by an agent from the Tetouan police station in which she stated that the night before the incident she had called 091 to ask for help because

"her partner wanted to kill her."

"It's a joke she played.

Do you think I killed her? -he responds to the interviewer- I don't remember calling and saying that they wanted to kill her. I haven't heard that call. Maybe I wasn't even there," he says. the boyfriend who is currently serving a sentence for robbery with violence.

La Veneno had been going through serious financial problems

for some time .

The boyfriend sold almost all the things that were in his Madrid home, even a toothbrush. He alleges that fans came there to have a souvenir of her and that they offered money. The statements of two of Cristina's sisters, her close friend Paca La Piraña and Esther - she lived with the couple - and the criminologist Óscar Tarruella, among others, continue to insist that the 90s star did not die due to a fall.

They want the case to be reopened.

So far there has been no success.

When it is pointed out that the bruises on her hands, lips, cheekbones and instep do not seem to be the result of a fall in the bathtub, Alin concludes: "About the foot, we once went to a junkyard to see a friend of his." and he hit his foot. At home there was a large glass table that he broke with a friend.

His blood pressure was very low and when he got up too quickly to go to the bathroom he got dizzy and fell. "

In the report, La Veneno's little sister takes out some medical documents that state that she had suffered

facial trauma with a baseball bat

in May 2015. "There was no bat at home," says the boyfriend. One of her friends with whom she walked the street in Parque del Oeste,

Esther Lago,

claims that "they were always fighting, he brought her drugs and alcohol. He wanted to lead her to the worst.

He had brought her horse, coke, mixed pills, manduco, whiskey and she went crazy" and describes an extreme situation when she called her to say "Esther, help me, he's going to kill me (Esther told her to leave him). That I can't get rid of it, it's bad (...)" and states what the young Romanian said in a heated argument:

"I'm going to kill you, you fucking faggot because you gave me AIDS.

Until I see you dead I'm not going to stop." Again, Alin comes to his own defense.

"It's not true. Cristina and Esther had an argument and they even hit each other. She told Esther to leave home - the three of them lived together for a while - because I had already returned, she wanted to make love to me and it gave her some time. to look for a rental." When Veneno died she left the apartment after one of the artist's sisters gave her 500 euros. Alin claims that an assistant to the family's lawyer threatened to send hitmen.

He left out of fear.

Alin and Cristina met in 2014 when he was 20 years old and she was 50.

He had come to find a life as

a scort

. She was back on the streets.

After the sudden cancellation in 1997 of

The Pelican's Smile

by Pepe Navarro (72), where Veneno became one of the most desired characters in Spain with a very high cachet, the spiral of destruction of a woman who has become in an institution for transsexuals.

After his tragic death, an emotional tribute was paid to him in the Parque del Oeste with a plaque. Thus ended the adventure of Joselito, as his mother and his sisters still call him, since he decided to leave his native Adra (Almería) in 1992 to seek his fortune in Madrid.
