Imagine you're in Playa del Carmen, México, and you're at a club having fun with your friends and all of the sudden, authorities come in and raid the place looking for drugs and you're caught in the middle of chaos, so police take you, take your mug shot and the next day it's all over the news.
That's pretty much what allegedly happened to Osvaldo de León, who was enjoying a night out at the beach, and became the subject of a drug-related investigation.
The Mexican actor and model said that he wasn't detained because he was carrying drugs, like a magazine said right after the incident. In a recent interview, De León confessed he was deprived of his freedom for almost an hour and a half after the raid, and authorities took his cell phone away. "I think they do that so drug dealers can't ask their friends or someone to come pick them up," expressed Osvaldo.
He then added, "I was taken to another place, I don't remember where, but I stood there for an hour and a half until I clarified things."
Recently, two Mexican magazines published different articles about how Osvaldo de León was arrested again, this time on the streets, because he was selling drugs and officials allegedly found cocaine and marihuana on the actor.
The publications released some pictures of De León's mug shot and in front of him, the drugs that he was supposedly carrying at the moment of the arrest, but he insists those were the drugs found at the club in Playa del Carmen and everyone who was taken into the precinct that night was forced to pose with the evidence.
"If it were true, everyone would've known. There's no record. There's nothing. It was my first time in terms of a police encounter and there are no records because everything I do is very transparent," explained the model.
He wasn't released on bail, because he managed to call his lawyer who referred him to another lawyer in Playa del Carmen who returned the actor his freedom.
After one of the magazines printed an alleged police report, De León stated that he never saw it and he suspects it's false.
