A number of Spanish journalists and officials from the same media outlet arrived this Wednesday morning seeking assistance at the Spanish embassy in Bangkok, Thailand, after local authorities accused them of operating a drone illegally to capture images of the prison where a person is detained. The authorities have not verified any arrests or detentions stemming from these events, and it remains unclear which environment these individuals belong to. On August 29, a program broadcast by Cuatro titled En boca de todos aired what it described as the first images of Daniel Sancho in a Thai prison, located in Ko Samui. The program’s website offered a section titled This is his daily life, through which some prison photos of the Thai town could be accessed, with the material portraying inmates in general. The footage is claimed to provide an unprecedented glimpse into the Spaniard’s daily routine while in custody. (citation: program description and media reports)
A number of journalists in the country reportedly acted without a tourist visa, raising the possibility that they could face deportation, though this scenario has not been confirmed by authorities. (citation: eyewitness sources and official statements)
Inquiry images
And now Sonsoles, a Telecinco program, released the first images connected to a crime reconstruction involving Daniel Sancho, with police present. According to Europa Press, the footage shows the alleged killer describing how he killed his victim, a Colombian doctor, in the village of Koh Phangan, where the incident reportedly occurred. The sequence appears to feature Daniel cooperating with investigators and detailing the events. He is heard saying, I want to continue collaborating with you. (citation: Europa Press reports)
Daniel Sancho, the son of a well-known actor, was among those visiting the prison to see him, and reports indicate that a relative with the same surname also visited during the ongoing inquiry. (citation: local coverage and official statements)
