Rafael Amargo is in provisional prison after the judge ordered his admission due to alleged flight risk. The reason: not having gone to sign at the court, as was his obligation. Let us remember that the bailaor is accused of an alleged crime against public health and to this we should add that his lawyer has refused to continue representing him.
However, Florentino Amargo, the artist's father, wanted to clarify in Así es la vida both this information and also the real reason why his son had stopped going to sign in court.
"We are having a hard time because what they have done is an injustice because the lawyer has not left it to him, he has left it to the lawyer," Florentino explained. Therefore, the information that his lawyer had abandoned him would be false. Hence, the dancer has had another legal representative.
On the other hand, Florentino confirmed having "spoken two or three times" with his son in recent times. Although he still does not consider going to see him in prison. "Imagine, being in jail," he declared.
However, there is a question that many ask in relation to this case: why did Rafael Amargo decide not to go to court to sign, knowing that it could lead to his imprisonment?
His father has an explanation for this: "The trial was suspended after two and a half years. Until that date he was going to sign every 15 days. But then he said: 'I'm fed up, there I go and they don't take good care of me. There is journalists...'". Here Florentino also complained about the judge's decision. According to him, he could have been given a "fine, a location... But wow! Straight to prison!"
