I started a boutique, a person I trusted came and I went to buy clothes for my store, at that moment there was a raid in the parking lot, there were a lot of people and we were all subject to the identification of each person’s responsibilities. I was never in the presence of an illegal substance in my life,” Villaverde explained in an interview he gave in December to Infobae.
