Trial against Villa: the first days

During the hearing this Wednesday, the soccer player’s representative, Rodrigo Riep, testified via Zoom from Mendoza and recounted the link that Villa had with Cortésmore precisely during the quarantine due to the coronavirus pandemic: “I met Daniela when she arrived in Argentina. They were getting to know each other, they weren’t dating.. She came, stayed for a month or two and went to Colombia, “she told about the relationship between her representative and the young Colombian.

“Sebastián asked me to go to Juanfer’s (Juan Fernando Quintero, then a River Plate player, whom he also represents) to leave her alone. At that moment I saw her Daniela was very nervous, desperate, she wouldn’t let him go out. I think that she got desperate because she thought she was going to stay locked up. That was not going to happen because we were going to accompany her, “she assured.

Later, he referred particularly to the day of the denounced attack: “I know from that day that Sebastián left after some discussions because she wouldn’t let him leave the house. When he arrived at Juanfer’s apartment he called me saying “Look what he did to me, all the threats he made to me were fulfilled”. She didn’t know what she was talking about. There she told me to look at Instagram and there I saw everything that was uploaded. That was the start of all this madness“He recalled in relation to the photos published on the social network by the young complainant.

The complainant was the first to testify before the Correctional Court 2 of Lomas de Zamoray via Zoom from Colombia and explained that the soccer player “became violent” when he drank alcohol and also pointed out that the pushing “was common”.
