The story covered today in the show "With an Open Heart" is that of a pre-trial detainee who recounted from his cell the family conflict that led him to prison, following a denunciation made by his son of violence against his wife.
The father, in a statement from custody, stated that everything started after a conflict with his son, who, according to him, had asked for money to open a business. He claims that he had agreed to help him financially, but the situation between them then deteriorated.
"My son wanted money to open a business. I told him: 'Live alone for once, to see what life is like. I will help you as much as I can.' But he degraded himself," the father confessed.
According to him, the plan was for him and his son to work together with his brother, while the investigation into the case has now been closed. The detainee claims that irregularities occurred during the process and that the influence of other people may be hidden behind the family conflict.
"They would work together with their brother. The investigations have been closed, there have been many irregularities. Someone from the family is influencing all the processes. The eldest son is the one who started it, I don't know who is hiding behind him," he declared.
The detainee states that due to being in a cell, he is unable to defend himself and explain the situation according to his version. He also claims that he has received threatening messages while in detention.
"I'm inside and I can't do anything to protect myself. I've received threatening messages and they accused me of stealing from fellow prisoners in the cell," he said.
At the end of his story, the father expresses regret for the sacrifices he says he has made over the years for his family and for the people who, according to him, have not appreciated them.
"I am remorseful and guilty for the sole reason that I worked for 23 years as a servant slave to serve the wrong people. I hate myself and I will never forgive myself for this," he said.
