But there was a moment in his career when everything seemed to fall apart. This is what Darín himself said during an interview with Dante Gebel within the framework of its cycle Dante’s Divine Nightwhere he told for the first time what happened with a complaint he received in 1991.
In March of that year, he was charged with violating a law that was intended to allow people with disabilities to import vehicles from abroad without having to pay import taxes, after purchasing a vehicle. The problem is that the actor was arrested and remained in jail for 3 days.
Ricardo Darín’s confessions about the case against him for smuggling
As soon as he came out, his name was in the news everywhere and not for anything good. The thing is that the case was not yet clarified and the accusation was serious. For Ricardo, what was at stake was “my integrity, my way of being, my education, prevented me from going out on the street because I wanted to explain it to everyone, one by one, on the street.” For this reason, he spent months locked up, secluded and without making appearances, while the case remained unclarified.
“It took them ten years to find out what I do for a living. It’s a bit strange, isn’t it? It’s weird. It’s strange because in that case that was never completely clarified… I have my own opinions about it” he later added about it.
“You have to understand the context. If you go back to that moment, there was something very big that they were covering up. If you go to the media of that time, to me They used me to cover something very big“, he assured, hinting at the existence of greater interests behind the scandal.
In the end, Ricardo Darín, who at that time was 33 years old, was finally able to face the issue and go out into the street, and everything ended up being resolved when he had to meet a disabled lady, who left him an unforgettable phrase: “I trust you before I trust the Argentine justice system. Don’t be ashamed” and full stop.
