This April the trial of Daniel Sancho began in Thailand, after last August 2023 he confessed to the murder and dismemberment of the Colombian surgeon Edwin Arrieta. At the same time, the news came to light that his father, Rodolfo Sancho, gave an interview on the HBO platform, specifically in episode zero of The Sancho Case, the docuseries that recounts what happened last summer in the country. Asian. Now, Frank Cuesta, who knows Thai justice firsthand, has spoken on this topic.
The actor's statements, somewhat controversial, generated a great debate on social networks, since many described Sancho as "arrogant" and "arrogant." Later, it was learned, thanks to his spokesperson, Carmen Balfagón, that Rodolfo gave the interview for money. "He did it for money. The objective was to cover the financial need that a father has to try to save his son's life. Thailand is a bottomless pit. It is an expensive country and you have to pay, not only for Daniel's food, but also lawyers, legalizations, assistants and many other expenses," he said in the program And now Sonsoles.
The person who has spoken about this case on several occasions is Frank Cuesta, who knows Thai justice closely. In the last few hours, the herpetologist has opened up about the Sancho Case on Javi Oliveira's YouTube channel, where he has attacked the Plastic Sea actor and has spoken about Thai laws. "What I saw on HBO is pure and simple arrogance," says Cuesta. Frank claims that he was "freaked out" when he heard how Rodolfo referred to Edwin Arrieta as a "guy."
"I was shocked. You are talking about a person that you know your son has killed and cut into pieces. It is no longer empathy. There is no education. Trunk, if anyone sees that, they say: 'like that, like that' splinter,'" Cuesta said. As for Silvia Bronchalo, the defendant's mother, Frank admits to feeling empathy. "She is quiet, she is always silent. The other day she said the same thing she said months ago: 'we have all lost here,'" she says. On the other hand, he regrets that the woman is going to "eat the shit out of everything." "On top of that, they have her covered by the father and the son," he says.
The television station does not foresee that the sentence will be light. "There are only two options: the death penalty or life imprisonment. If you are in trouble and they give you a life sentence, you are very lucky. They are going to give you the death penalty, for sure," says Frank Cuesta. "Every year the King commutes that death sentence, but he still doesn't do it the first year or he doesn't do it the second. You eat two more years in prison. The kid is on trial because he dismembered and killed another person. "If I were Edwin's family, I don't even know what I would have done. Oh, they cut your brother up! They cut him into pieces and threw him in the trash!" he says, visibly indignant with him. case.
"I know the lawyer they had at the beginning. He is a guy with a great criminal reputation. That guy could still get you a life sentence or whatever, but they would understand each other. They could reach an agreement with the prosecutor's office. "What they did with Khun Anan was disrespectful. You don't come to Thailand to disrespect him," he said on the YouTube channel.
