Overview
- Prosecutors and police are reviewing evidence after a criminal complaint filed by producer Christian Rodríguez’s lawyer named Gustavo Salcedo as the aggressor.
- América Hoy aired initial security videos of the collision and beating, and Magaly TV later broadcast new angles tracing Salcedo’s route and showing he nearly struck a pedestrian.
- Rodríguez received head trauma care, including four stitches, at a clinic and remains under evaluation, with his lawyer citing pre-existing chronic conditions that could worsen the harm.
- The police report and legal filings describe alleged harassment and threats dating to March, and note the incident occurred as Rodríguez’s child sat in the vehicle.
- Salcedo offered a televised remark of “bien merecido,” while Mantilla publicly denounced violence and said she is seeking a child-focused agreement.
