Antonio Tejado was arrested last week by the Civil Guard, identified as the mastermind of a series of robberies in Sevillian properties, including an absolutely personal blow: the assault on the house of his aunt, the singer María del Monte, which occurred in August. Since then, Tejado and seven other people have been behind bars, accused of being part of a network that commits robberies with force and intimidation.
The investigation points to several reported assaults in the area, among which the robberies of celebrities such as Pilar Rubio and Sergio Ramos stand out, but everything indicates that the list of those affected could be broader. In fact, it seems that Tejada's gang would also have robbed a famous person very close to him.
According to the first investigations, the thieves could have entered the house of Bárbara Rey, whose name appeared during the wiretaps of the suspects in this robbery network.
Thanks to this detail, investigators reviewed Tejado's links with figures from the world of entertainment, and observed a change in the gang's modus operandi since Tejado's incorporation, now focused on robbing the homes of celebrities and not drug traffickers.
Among the most striking episodes of this gang could be the hit suffered by the star at the beginning of 2017, a theft of jewelry valued at more than 180,000 euros.
This incident did not occur at her own home, but at a friend's house in Murcia, where Rey kept her precious jewelry. "The jewelry that I have bought throughout my life, with my effort and work, has been stolen from me," explained the Murcian woman at that time.
Despite the age of the robbery, the relationship between Tejado and Rey could have been enough for the former television collaborator to have been able to obtain privileged information, since both had a brief, but intense romance almost two decades ago, a detail that could be relevant. in the current research.
