The case of Antonio Tejado continues to be the order of the day. The nephew of the singer María del Monte has been in provisional prison since last February 11, at which time he was arrested by the Civil Guard accused of being the 'intellectual author' of the robbery with violence suffered by his aunt, María del Monte, and his wife, Inmaculada Casal, at their home last August.
For the moment, the judge has rejected provisional release for the former television collaborator on two occasions and the evidence against him as the alleged intellectual author of the robbery at his aunt's house grows as the days go by. Thanks to the dumping of his mobile phone, compromising messages from Tejado have come to light that directly link him to 'El Ruso', leader of the criminal organization dedicated to theft of homes in the province of Seville.
In addition, last Friday, April 26, the program ¡De Fridays! exclusively issued the full statements of Antonio Tejado, María del Monte and Inmaculada Casal on December 15. A leak that the singer's nephew would be quite upset with.
But if all this news were not enough, in the last few hours it came to light that Antonio Tejado was trying to contact María del Monte. Information that Tejado's lawyer, Fernando Fernández Velo, denied this Thursday on the program And now Sonsoles. ''It is impossible for a video call connection to be made from a penitentiary center. You are not free to choose who to call, nor can you receive any type of call. Furthermore, he has let me know that it is not true that he tried to contact his aunt,' he claimed.
Regarding the controversial leaks, the lawyer assured that "it was a violation of the fundamental rights of the person under investigation and of the victims themselves." ''It is intolerable and we cannot allow these situations to be repeated,'' he insisted. For this reason, they had decided to file a complaint with the investigating judge so that, if he deemed it appropriate and necessary, he could initiate the necessary investigations. ''These leaks mean great damage to my client,'' he said.
Moments later, journalist Paloma García-Pelayo revealed, according to sources very close to the case, that there was a new person under investigation. ''There could be new arrests, the investigation is not closed and it is expected that there will be news about this in the coming weeks. "One more person, I don't know his nationality or any other detail, but I know that he is a man who would be involved," the collaborator stated.
