BULGARIA – The open letter of the vocalist of Intelligent Music Project Ronnie Romero is about the information published in the international and Bulgarian media that he is wanted and has a current arrest warrant from the Spanish court after accusations against him by his ex-wife of threatening. The text was provided by the artist:
“The information published in the media is partly true – there is an ongoing court procedure for my search in Spain, which is currently being taken care of by my lawyer. Here are some facts:
- When it all started in December 2020, no one had informed me because the Court did not know my current address. I was informed of this by the police in the middle of the street while I was in Spain on business for a few days in June 2021. This happened six months after the procedure began, while I was taking my son to spend time together. On the same day, also the day after, I went to the police station and to the Court to find out more about what was happening and what the charges against me were (Saturday and Sunday, 5 and 6 June 2021). After I wasnโt able to appear to the Court on the date I was summoned for questioning due to the fact that I was not living in Spain then or now, I was declared wanted. But, as I mentioned, this is what my lawyer is taking care of right now.
- The Court, the Police Department and the Spanish Embassy in Bucharest know my address, my telephone number and my e-mail address, which I personally provided on 5 June 2021 (as soon as I was informed of the legal proceedings against me) so that I could assist and be informed of any developments in the investigation. From July 2021 until now I have no information about the development of the investigation.
- I want to state categorically that the accusations against me are absolutely not true and are based on an SMS text taken out of the context of a conversation that took place during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 when I was not able to travel to Spain to see my 8-year-old son. Taking advantage of this situation, for months I was denied direct communication with him – neither by phone, nor by Skype, nor by any other platform. And at this point, I still don’t have the opportunity to talk to my son.
I believe that releasing information about this investigation right now, at this point of my career, is another dirty trick aimed at staining my image – something I have been constantly suffering from since I moved to Bucharest. Together with my fiancรฉe, we experience constant harassment even on social networks from fake profiles with the same source.
Anyone who really knows me can say that I would never threaten to death even my worst enemy, even if I had one. All my friends, bandmates, business partners can very well describe what I am like as a person – a normal guy, a musician who just wants to be happy in his personal and professional life.
Unfortunately, there are people who cannot enjoy someone else’s happiness.
Time and justice will show what the truth is and will put everybody in the place deserved.
Ronnie”
