What did Mirella Paz say about her father’s legal situation?
During the interview, Mirella Paz explained that her father has no connection to criminal activities and that, according to her, the events occurred under unfortunate circumstances. The singer expressed her pain and indignation at seeing the images of her father being arrested, indicating that it was a mistake and an abuse of authority.
With tears in her eyes, Mirella Paz expressed her deep sadness before the cameras of the newscast Willax TV, She said that her father is a hard-working man with solid principles. “When you see the images, you don’t know how much pain I feel. My father is a good man, a man with a stable job, it makes me very sad. I know my father, and those of us who know him know that this is abuse,” said the singer.
The artist also pointed out that during the arrest, her father did not have his glasses, which caused her greater difficulties, considering that he is diabetic and that she was not given any clear explanation of the reason for his arrest. “An innocent man does not deserve to be in prison. My father does not deserve to be in prison, he deserves to be with us. They can investigate as much as they want, but I will put my hands in the fire for my father, who is innocent,” said Paz.
Mirella Paz explained that her father was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. According to her, he was giving a “lift” to two neighbors in the neighborhood, who were the ones really involved with the extortion gang. “They are from the neighborhood, they asked him to give them a lift. He was there at the wrong time. Right on the corner the police grabbed them. They tied him up like a criminal when he really had nothing to do with it,” she said.
