Police arrested this Wednesday to the blonde for an alleged sexual assault, as he has advanced Chamizo, 76, who has been released after the arrest, has confirmed to El País that he has accepted his right not to declare and has assured that it is a “false accusation.” “I have a very quiet awareness, although it is a very unpleasant episode,” he said.
The complaint, according to Chamizo, comes from former heads of the Seville Foundation hosts that they have accused him of alleged abuse of young people protected by that institution, “over 20 years and between 2022 and 2023 ″ the former defender of the Andalusian people argues that the complaint is provoked by an internal power struggle to direct the foundation under criteria that he did not share.
