Overview

• Rodolfo Sancho and lawyer Marcos García Montes issued a joint statement this week denying any disputes between Daniel Sancho and his defense team and affirming he has not given any media interviews.
• His mother, Silvia Bronchalo, confirmed he sleeps in a shared cell with other inmates and refuted claims of special treatment such as a private cell or uninterrupted writing time.
• The family covers his meals and ensures weekly video calls and psychological support, stressing these are standard allowances rather than privileges.
• Daniel’s defense submitted a 400-page appeal in March contesting his life sentence as self-defense, and the Phuket Court of Appeals has set no deadline for its ruling.
• The coordinated denials seek to blunt sensationalist rumors of favoritism and keep attention on his bid for a retrial or sentence reduction.
