Since Daniel Sancho was accused of having murdered and dismembered, allegedly, the Colombian surgeon Edwin Arrieta, numerous pieces of information have not stopped coming to light. Although many of these have served to clarify some important aspects, others have only created confusion.
Last Tuesday, the En boca de todos program revealed an interview with Big Joke, number two of the Thai police, where he confessed a revealing fact: "Daniel has never been in the Koh Samui prison, he has been in another from the beginning" . A piece of news that caught everyone by surprise and that has mobilized the media machinery to find out his true whereabouts. However, it seems that the reality is totally different.
Esther Yáñez, the journalist who obtained the statements from the police, assured that she had verified the information with various translators "due to the importance of the case." Following this, the Code 10 program claimed that the defendant is in Surat Thani prison. Something that only fueled the doubts and unknowns surrounding the case: Why did Silvia Bronchalo, the embassy staff and her lawyer visit him in Koh Samui?
According to Big Joke, the investigation by the police is not closed and he has to move to this prison on a daily basis. Therefore, "Daniel may have met his mother on Koh Samui on one of these visits."
However, Daniel Sancho's own lawyer in Thailand wanted to make it clear in Such is life that the information is false: "He is only here. The prosecutor only allows him to go to court or to Koh Samui prison." To try to clarify what happened, The Summer Program has decided to contact all parties.
"The Spanish embassy tells us that they are not aware that Daniel Sancho has been transferred to another prison. The police in Koh Phangan, Koh Samui and Bangkok say that the prison where Daniel Sancho lives and sleeps is the one in Koh Samui. Something that the lawyer also says. The prison director also assures us that he lives and sleeps here," confirmed journalist Jorge Luque.
One of the keys that has cast doubt on the Big Joke data has been the distance between prisons: “From one prison to another it would be a half-hour drive to the Koh Samui pier. Two hours by ferry to reach the peninsula and two more by car to the other prison”. Something that could not have happened without being sighted at some point, since "the Spanish press has been on call for 24 hours for almost 20 days."
However, it could all be due to a translation error. "We are on the island of Koh Samui, which belongs to the province of Surat Thani. There are two prisons here. We believe that the translator is unaware that there are two prisons and that is why, when doing the translation, he gets mixed up," Jorge Luque assured. .
