“We spent the night, we got high (…) something intimate happened,” he told Telefe Noticias.
In November, Braian Paiz denied in an interview supplying drugs to Payne, while admitting to meeting him and spending time with him in his room.
The Argentine courts established that he had “supplied drugs in exchange for money” and on Monday ordered the pre-trial detention of two of the five people prosecuted, including Paiz.
“Three of the accused were charged without pre-trial detention for manslaughter, and the other two for the offense of supplying drugs” with pre-trial detention, the prosecution declared.
They are “RLN, the victim’s agent (in Argentina) and who accompanied Payne on this trip to Buenos Aires to renew his American visa; the hotel manager, GAM, and the front desk manager of the hotel, ERG”, and are punishable by a sentence of one to five years in prison, according to the prosecution.
Liam Payne, 31, was found dead on October 16 following “multiple trauma” and “internal and external bleeding” after falling from the balcony of his hotel room in Buenos Aires, where he had been staying since a few days.
According to the investigation, he had consumed alcohol, cocaine and antidepressants before his death.
