Reimond Manco and the kidnapping that was invented in Mexico: “I was about to die”

In 2011, a news item shocked Peruvian football: Reimond Manco he was kidnapped in Mexico. The press of the aforementioned country reported that the player was staying up late and that he appeared “smelling of alcohol.” Ten years later, in dialogue with Jesús Alzamora, the offensive midfielder told the truth about what happened that night in Cancun. The former Lima Alliance denied having been partying and confirmed that it was a problem with a Mexican mafia.

In the program La Lengua, with Jesús Alzamora, Reimond Manco said the following: “People don’t know what happens there. They only go to the discos, the beaches and nothing else, but Cancun is a no man’s land. I have never told this, it all came from a girl. I didn’t know who he was, he gave me a false name and we started dating. Obviously I found out later that the name was false. I didn’t know it was the partner of a ‘bravo’ from the mafia, that’s why they grabbed me, almost killed me and on top of that they broke my partition “.

Then he added: “I came out to say the subject of the kidnapping because if not, no one would believe the story. I ask you a question, because the coach said that he had arrived in a drunken state, which could be, but … I broke the wall myself so that they believe me? Has no sense. That’s why I said about the kidnapping, now you understand? “

That’s why I didn’t say anything. I was very scared. That happened and the next day I came on the first flight to Lima. Mine happened after what happened with Salvador Cabañas. I got it cheap, they put a gun to my head. I saw Judas that day. It was outside a disco ”, Reimond Manco stated.

Also, the offensive midfielder narrated: “There we trained at night because of the sun, which is very intense. That night, when all this happened, the team had traveled, I stayed for a little annoyance and went to a disco with my cousin to see a show. Leaving that place they captured me and almost killed me ”.

Finally, Manco stated the following: “When they capture me, they start asking me for a name. And I didn’t know who it was, it was the real name of the girl I was dating. Later, when I got to Lima, I realized that she had sent me an email, I didn’t even open it, I deleted it from all my contacts. ”

On the other hand, the experienced player affirmed that he suffered a “trauma” due to what happened in Mexico and affirmed that the kidnapping was invented to prevent an attempt on his life.
