A false hero from the disaster in the club was arrested
There was tears, there was a story like a movie. The 32-year-old unemployed security guard talked about how he pulled people out of the debris, He saved the TV presenter and barely escaped with life. Did he deserve the order? NO. For penalty allegations – yes.
Rosario became a media hero After the tragedy at the Jet Set club in the Dominican Republic, Where 231 people were killed on April 8 and over 200 were injured. The man claimed that he had pulled as many as 12 people out of the ruins. And then he went into a detour after the editorial offices – with a dressing on his hand and a ready scenario.
He accused the services, grabbed his heart, he collapsed transfers
Her feet were trapped under the beam. Finally she took off her shoes and managed to pull it out – he said in a breaking voice about a saved journalist. She thanked him with tears in her eyes: « Rafael was a miracle from God. Thanks to him I live. »
The problem is that none of this was true.
As reported by the Daily Mail, during interrogations Rosario admitted that he only appeared after the disaster, because … he was paid for playing the hero. However, he did not give who gave him the money.
– Sorry. I did it because I was unemployed. I got the money. I apologize to everyone – he said on the recording made available by the police. Even the dressing he wore on his arms was a misleading, he shot his hand by accident in February, long before the club collapsed.
Authorities: « he has never been there »
