Jaime Cantizano apologizes after finding Álvaro Prieto live on 'Mañaneros'

This Monday morning's programming has been clouded after the discovery of the lifeless body of Álvaro Prieto. The Córdoba CF youth footballer, who had been missing since last October 12, has been found between two carriages of a train that he had been stopped since August due to a breakdown. A situation that has been captured, live, by the Mañaneros team, the morning show on La 1 presented by Jaime Cantizano.

The host of the program cut off the broadcast when he realized that the body of the missing person was visible in the shot. A plan that has been maintained while the space envoy to Seville recounted the discovery. The broadcast continued with other matters marked on the list before a brief interruption. Given the seriousness of the situation, Cantizano has sent a message of forgiveness to the public and the victim's family.

“On behalf of this group we want to apologize. Like the rest of the media, we have been following the disappearance of the young man from Córdoba for days, Álvaro Prieto. We have a team deployed to cover the news and it happened live: he witnessed the appearance of a corpse. At that moment, as a result of the speed and what was being narrated, we have offered live images that should never have been broadcast," said the presenter.

“We are very sorry, and these apologies are firstly addressed to the family of the deceased. These images have evidently been removed from the digital broadcast of the program and can never be seen again. We have made available to the judicial police all the audiovisual material that could help in the investigation of this case," he added, before reiterating that the images They should never have been issued under any circumstances.

Despite the apology, the publication of the speech on X (Twitter) has been filled with messages against the program, calling for its cancellation and the dismissal of Cantizano and the rest of his team. “They should close the program and above all fire the 'reporter' and 'cameraman' who recorded it and did not even deign to stop the recording and on top of that they zoom in. Pieces of scoundrels, without empathy or scruples, put your apologies wherever they fit,” expressed one user.

Likewise, there have been messages in the opposite direction: “Very good for the apologies, for the moment I think they have been the only ones to express themselves, even so, I think that this is a mistake that should not be made and that, nevertheless, year “After year, they end up stumbling over the same stone.” “No one is prepared to react to such an image. It takes seconds that unfortunately show something that should not have been broadcast. Don't blame those who, unintentionally, found the boy," said another user.
