Actor Juan José Ballesta, known for his leading role in the film El Bola when he was 12 years old, was arrested and later released on Tuesday, accused of alleged robbery with violence. The interpreter had been reported by a friend, from whom he had stolen 50 euros in cash and a jacket valued at 200 euros.
Ballesta is once again involved in controversy just a few months after being accused of sexual assault by another acquaintance. For this other case, which would have taken place last July in the Madrid town of Parla, the actor is still being investigated and testified in court just a few weeks ago.
Álvaro, the man who has filed this new complaint against El Bola, has broken his silence on television just a few hours after learning of the interpreter's arrest. He has done it on TardeAR, the Telecinco afternoon program presented by Ana Rosa Quintana, where he has assured that the money stolen by Ballesta had been given to him by her mother to promote her YouTube channel.
"At what point? I know that he is a very good person, but he has several people, and the one he showed me by hitting me in the face is not the one that I helped him overcome all kinds of problems that he has," the complainant assured the cameras, visibly hurt by the events.
After taking the 50 euros from his mother, Álvaro went with Juanjo to record the promotional video. It is upon entering an establishment when the actor began to be aggressive: "'And where is the money, and where is the money?', these are attitudes that I know in Juanjo given the places where we have met," he says. El Bola's friend in TardeAR.
"I know you, I know perfectly well by looking at your face that you are lying, and I am not going to allow you to steal my mother's wages or my own wages," Álvaro warned him just before starting the struggle. "He leans his back against the wall of the car and hits me with his shoe," he said about the aggression suffered at the hands of Ballesta, showing the camera the bruises he has under his eyes.
