Marcelo Tinelli Testifies in His Daughter's Threat Case

Marcelo Tinelli finally appeared at the Criminal, Contravention and Misdemeanor Prosecutor's Office No. 6 to testify as a witness in the case of the threats received by his minor daughter, Juana. The host's testimony allowed for a precise reconstruction of the moment the alarms went off in his family and the conflict that ultimately destroyed the dialogue between them. According to his account, everything happened while he was preparing to record 'Los Tinelli', the Amazon series that documents his day-to-day life. 'I was about to record a series at home, I was putting on makeup,' he told the prosecutor. At that moment, he saw an urgent message from his daughter: 'I need to talk to you because they just threatened me,' the text read, followed by the direct accusation: 'Gustavo Scaglione threatened me,' as visualized by the Argentine News Agency. Tinelli stated that upon reading the message, he immediately called Juana to comfort her. She was upset, crying, and very nervous. He recalled asking her to calm down, but that response had an unexpected impact: Paula Robles, Juanita's mother, took the phone and questioned his reaction. Shortly after, according to his own testimony, the young woman insulted him, hung up, and blocked all contact. In 'Tarde o Temprano', journalist Fernanda Iglesias reconstructed point by point what Tinelli assured in his testimony. According to his account, after the initial call, Juana wrote to him to complain that he was not 'paying attention'. From that point on, the link was completely interrupted. Likewise, Tinelli explained to the Justice: 'Juana wrote to me and told me she couldn't believe I wasn't paying attention to her. She cut off the dialogue from there.

Tinelli insisted that he does not have a link with the person she pointed out and that he was completely unaware of the episode until he received his daughter's message. While awaiting the new summons and the progress of the expert reports, the family conflict has been made public. 'Now I am blocked everywhere by her,' the driver also detailed. He also detailed that his daughter had expressed her disagreement with several of the decisions he had made in recent years and that this emotional distance was not new, but it did deepen after the threat. Days after the threats became known, Juana Tinelli made an extensive post on Instagram where she exposed her anguish, her fear, and the emotional weight generated by the conflicts associated with her surname. The case, which is in the hands of the Buenos Aires prosecutor's office, is advancing on the facts reported by Juana and the statements of her entourage.
