This Wednesday the trial began in which Rafael Amargo faces the request of the Prosecutor's Office for 9 years in prison. Two and a half years ago, the bailaor was arrested for an alleged crime of drug trafficking, and today he has begun a judicial career that is scheduled to last during June 7, 8, 9 and 12 at the Provincial Court of Madrid.
It is not the first time that he has spoken about what happened, and he always defines his arrests as "very unfair." Now, he is going to try to fight so that everything ends well, although it has not started in the best possible way. The trial has had to be postponed, since one of the two defendants has appeared without a lawyer, so Bitter will have to wait to be able to prove his innocence.
Rafael Amargo has gone to the Provincial Court of Madrid, where he was summoned, assuring that he is "well" and that he is calm "thank God." However, he has done it 45 minutes late. If the summons was given at 9:00, it wasn't until 9:45 that the bailaor appeared together with his lawyer, Jaime Caballero, and his wife, Luciana Bongianino.
Smiling, the man from Granada wanted to vindicate his innocence once again and assured that "the truth only has one path". "I trust in justice", he has recounted forcefully. It seems that Rafael Amargo is very convinced that he can demonstrate that the facts for which he is accused are not true.
If Rafael Amargo is clear about something, it is that he does not plan to reach an agreement with the Prosecutor's Office, which accuses him of almost ten years in prison. "My client does not want a pact with the Prosecutor's Office," his lawyer confirmed.
The bailaor is accused of being part of a group that trafficked drugs and sold from his own home. He himself has taken it upon himself to deny it and has assured that no one has left his house with more drugs than he had already entered with.
On leaving the court, shortly after the postponement of the trial, the bailaor wanted to show his sadness and anger at what had happened. "It's been two and a half years since they haven't even let me have a passport to go to work," he assured, wondering what his fault is.
Of course, he wanted to make it clear that he is not having such a bad time for him or for what may happen to him, but for his father. “What hurts me the most is that it is costing my father his life, who is dying in a hospital”, the bailaor assured.
