Producer Files Attempted Homicide Complaint, Seeks Immediate Detention of Gustavo Salcedo

Lawyers say recently aired recordings include Salcedo’s own account of a malecón attack plus months of surveillance through GPS and phone access.

Overview

  • Christian Rodríguez submitted a formal criminal complaint alleging attempted homicide, serious injuries, stalking/reglaje, damages, omission of aid, and exposure to danger.
  • Magaly TV aired audio in which Salcedo recounts pushing Rodríguez on the Costa Verde malecón, describing a fall that left him unconscious, and the program offered the material to authorities.
  • A subsequent recording captures Salcedo stating he placed GPS trackers on Rodríguez’s car and his wife’s car, tracked movements, and accessed the cellphones of Rodríguez and Maju Mantilla.
  • In additional excerpts, Salcedo says he hired a team for a year to follow Mantilla, describing sustained monitoring of residences and daily activity.
  • Salcedo’s lawyer acknowledged the aggression but framed it as a reaction to a personal situation, while Rodríguez’s counsel insists apologies carry no legal weight and is pressing for immediate custody; no detention order has been announced.
