Thieves broke into the house Gustavo Penades in the early hours of Saturday, reported Radio Universal and confirmed The Observer.
According to sources on the case, they checked his desk and bedside tablesand they stole some household items.
The nationalist senator is investigated by the Prosecutor’s Office after receiving several complaints against him for sexual abuse. However, the legislature he said on several occasions that he is “innocent”.
“It looks like a barbarity is the accusation against me about minors. Age does not matter. But specially It hits a lot when talking about adolescents in their first stage of life. I reiterate: that does not mean that anything else is justified. The condemnation, above all. Because this does not exist. Once again I insist on my innocence“said the senator in an interview with the weekly Search.
“It goes without saying that all this is a lie, right?”he asked, then jokingly added: “I have the peace of mind that later I am going to write something for Netflix and I am going to become a millionaire.”
The justice rejected the request of the senator’s defense to know the identity of the victimsa decision that they appealed.
The plot about the case took a new turn in recent days when in statements to the program Punto de Encuentro (Universal Radio) Penadés denounced a “plot” behind the complaints against him and pointed to the young man Jonathan Mastropierro, with whom he had sexual relations –according to him when he was older– as part of this.
in dialogue with The Observerhowever, the young man stated that does not have “any type of participation” in the investigation, rather than “as a witness”. He added that he did not present any complaint against the senator and that does not know “none of the complainants”.
In addition, the prosecutor Alicia Ghione pointed out that He has no indications to affirm that there is some kind of plot to harm Penadés.
