“I did everything I could to save him”

BarcelonaAngela Dobrowolski tried to convince the judges that, far from wanting to kill her ex-husband, Josep Maria Mainat, she was still in love with him and trusted that they would give each other “a second chance”. The trial in which the TV producer’s ex-wife is accused of allegedly trying to kill him by injecting him with insulin knowing that he is diabetic will be seen by sentence on Friday to cause hypoglycemia, which left him in a coma. His statement this Thursday lasted approximately one hour and from the same room Mainat was able to listen to him and formalize the pardon apart from the accusation. Specifically, for spying on his email and consulting documents about the divorce petition and his inheritance.

Dobrowolski has only agreed to answer his lawyer’s questions and has recreated himself by recalling how he met Mainat, when she was 26 years old and passing through Barcelona, ​​”very alone and open to making friends”. “For me it wasn’t love at first sight, but I admired him until I fell in love – he recalled the beginnings of their relationship -. We were very aware of the impression we gave of the pederast and the young woman buscona“, an age difference that he claims brought them criticism even from their environment. This distance and the economic status of each was “a brutal gap” in the relationship. “It was the love of my life and this place is still vacant,” he added.

“My husband and I bet on theantiagingwas the basis of our marriage and our family”, and pointed out that he was committed to the maximum doses and even with “legal” products that are not sold in Spain. “He inspired me to study medicine, to follow him in theantiagingso that our future would work, so that he wouldn’t die,” he said in reference to some studies that have also pointed to the accusations to show that he knew what he was doing when he gave him two injections that night. According to the accusations, which claim 13 years from prison, they were from insulin, which she said were from Saxenda, a weight-loss medication originally used for diabetes.

Dobrowolski has used his statement to point to this hobby to prevent aging as a possible cause of the hypoglycemia that left Mainat in a coma that night. He assessed that “it had to be because of the mountain of pills” he was taking or because of a possible reaction of these drugs with the Saxenda.

“I saw the face of my dead husband”

The accused has acknowledged that since the beginning of 2020 they had problems with their partner and that Mainat had grown tired of his drug addiction, a situation that he explained somicantly. On June 22 of that year, the day she allegedly tried to kill him, they no longer lived together, divorce was on the table and they argued, according to Mainat, because he told her that the next day he would formalize the initiation of divorce proceedings.

Instead, Dobrowolski’s version is that after the argument they calmed down, shared a “normal” dinner, and the producer and his two children went to sleep. She stayed awake and over the next few hours the home’s security cameras recorded her going to the kitchen up to 13 times, she said, to look for drug residue. He claims that he entered the bedroom because he heard snoring “that was not normal”, and found Mainat “on the verge of death”.

“The moment I see the face of my dead, half-dead husband, next to my sleeping children … There is a second of shock,” and claims that he then gave her an envelope with 75 grams of concentrated glucose. “I did everything I could to save his life. I regret many things, I ruined my marriage, but I didn’t hurt him, I didn’t let him suffer or I failed to help him,” he said .

He has also insisted that since they got married, they clarified with capitulations what would happen to Mainat’s heritage if they divorced or one of the two died, also taking into account the two children they had in common later on. To defend himself against a crime of which he is no longer accused, he has raised his voice to clarify: “Of course I am in the inheritance, my future is assured as the mother of his children. We talked about it and I personally had no need to question anything.”
