The considerable sum of money that Edwin Arrieta supposedly transferred monthly to Daniel Sancho

A Spanish television program called ‘Fiesta de Verano’ released some information that they claim the police have been collecting and will present during the trial. At first, the existence of a possible salary that the surgeon paid the chef was mentioned.

But if the average salary of a plastic surgeon in Colombia is 1,000 euros a month, where did he get to spend 25,000 euros a month for Daniel Sancho?#This is life @CarmenBalfagon_

(Of interest: Edwin Arrieta wanted to move to Spain and make his relationship with Daniel Sancho ‘official’).

The foregoing implies that the sum of 25 thousand euros that Daniel Sancho possibly received monthly is approximately equivalent to more than $112 million Colombian pesos.

Despite what Sancho had said at the beginning, where he claimed to have received only 10,000 euros from Arrieta for his restaurant, if said considerable sum of money turned out to be true, it would imply a closer financial connection between them.

Currently, Daniel Sancho is under arrest in Koh Samui prison, receiving stress management treatment and vitamin supplements to keep him calm. He faces the risk of being sentenced to death for the crime he is accused of.
