Two days ago, the high-profile trial against Daniel Sancho began in Thailand for allegedly murdering Colombian surgeon Edwin Arrieta. The case has aroused great international interest, since the young accused could be sentenced to life imprisonment or even the death penalty.
To avoid this outcome, Sancho's lawyers are working very hard to try to prove that the young man committed reckless homicide and, above all, that he did not act with premeditation.
The La Sexta Aruser@s program has revealed this morning new clues about the legal procedure involving the case of Rodolfo Sancho's son. The team of collaborators has shared, among other things, that the accused goes to court every day handcuffed and with his feet shackled, something that Alfonso Arús has described as "excessive." It has also been learned that the young man has a completely shaved head.
Regarding the trial itself, Rocío Cano has explained that we have to understand that laws and customs are different between countries and that in the trial against Sancho we are seeing how in Thailand lawyers have "more freedom of movement and action." '' and they can ask questions, get up, etc.
The program has also revealed that one of the big problems of the legal process is the language barrier, since, although Sancho has an interpreter, her work greatly slows down the court session.
Faced with this problem, Arús has offered a solution: ''Now that glasses, earpieces... that translate whatever you want in real time into 50 languages are already sold for 300 euros... why are we wasting our time? Let them spend 300 euros (...) We are wasting our time, gentlemen from Thailand, it costs nothing and less.''
As revealed by collaborator Rocío Cano, the young accused would have avoided making eye contact with his mother during the first days of the judicial process. However, he would have sought the complicit and reassuring gaze of the Ministry of Time actor, who appeared happy and calm upon leaving the courthouse.
It should be noted that Rodolfo Sancho has recorded an exclusive interview for HBOMax that the platform has integrated into a docuseries called The Sancho Case. According to sources close to the actor, he would have agreed to give his testimony to earn money and pay the costs of the process in the Asian country. Angie Cárdenas shared on the La Sexta program this morning that the artist would have charged around 50,000 euros for the statements.
