Record’s presenter pointed out contradictions in the actor’s testimony and police are investigating other possibilities in the case.
The case of the actor Thiago Rodrigueswho claims to have been beaten and robbed in the early hours of last Saturday the 10th has endured a series of upheavals since Tuesday Luis Bacci reported a change in the line of investigation.
Now new evidence collected by Rio de Janeiro police speaks against the actor’s version, who couldn’t say clearly what actually happened last weekend.
Thiago Rodrigues was found unconscious and with head injuries by shopkeepers in Santos Dumont Square in Rio’s South Zone. It was initially reported that the actor was beaten by 5 criminals and then robbed, however the heartthrob claimed in his statement to the police that he “felt” that five people had beaten him.
Cidade Alerta host Luiz Bacci devoted a large portion of Record’s news coverage to coverage of the case, explaining that the former heartthrob of the Record soap opera’s testimonies point to a contradiction in what actually happened.
🇧🇷Was it a robbery? If he’s the victim and he says, “Could it have been a robbery or an assault?” I want to believe he’s confused about the punch, I believe in his innocence‘ affirmed the journalist, who followed:
Singer says he didn’t like what Bacci showed on TV and Globo actress’ boyfriend texts: ‘Respect caralh@’
Luiz Bacci goes on the air early, brings urgent news and delivers total stop: “And now?”
Bacci and Mariana Godoy reveal the turning point in the Thiago Rodrigues case after the actor was slapped: ‘Did he lie?’
🇧🇷Very absurd and difficult that a guy with the reputation he has would think he would just put an end to this story like that.added the Record anchor.
