Coinciding with the start of the trial of Daniel Sancho in Thailand for the murder and dismemberment of Edwin Arrieta last August on the island of Koh Phangan, HBO Max premieres this Monday on its platform The Sancho Case, a real-time docuseries that tells what happened in the Asian country with the son of Rodolfo Sancho and Silvia Bronchalo. In the first episode, the popular actor breaks his silence by narrating how he found out about the young man’s arrest, what his first reaction was and the data he has about the relationship between the Spaniard and the Colombian.
I’m fine, calm. I try to be stable, not have big downs or big ups (…) It was that sensation crudely known as being in a movie. Inside the stupefaction because Daniel does not have that criminal or delinquent resume, I immediately got going.. Everything was very strange, says Rodolfo Sancho on HBO Max with a somewhat cocky tone that has quickly generated a controversial debate among subscribers of the streaming service.
But what led the interpreter to be a participant in the docuseries after so many months in silence? Carmen Balfagn, criminologist and spokesperson for the Sancho family, reveals in the program And Now Sonsoles on Antena 3 the reasons that led the protagonist of Sea of Plastic to accept this proposal in the midst of the trial in which his son could be sentenced to death if it is proven that there was premeditation in the macabre crime.
He did it for money. Rodolfo’s objective was cover the financial need that a father has to try to save his son’s life, Balfagn begins by saying in front of Sonsoles nega. The lawyer says that the actor has been paying large amounts for eight months to keep Daniel in good conditions inside the Koh Samui prison; an expense that must be added to the cost of lawyers, translators, travel or accommodation, among other issues.
This situation is considerably reducing Rodolfo Sancho’s economic situation. Thailand is a bottomless pit. It is an expensive country and you have to pay, not only for Daniel’s food, but also for legalizations, assistants and many other expenses, the criminologist insists.
The father of Rodolfo Sancho
Rodolfo Sancho has paused his acting career to focus all his attention and efforts on defending his firstborn, something that is also affecting his bank accounts as his main source of income is paralyzed. He has canceled a project that was going to start on May 1 because the trial is not over yet and he wants to be present.comments Balfagn on Antena 3.
However, the interpreter did accept the HBO Max offer since The company offered him the money necessary to defend Daniel in Thailand. You can’t imagine what it cost him. It was not done in her house because it is sacred to him, but he had to do it because if there was no documentary, there was no money, she concludes.
