Imminent: Paco Gento could be granted the paternity he has denied for 6 decades

It was to be expected, we already anticipated it in ESdiario, it is very probable, almost imminent that Paco Gento will be granted the paternity of Paquita España. This Wednesday the trial to which the plaintiff attended was held, but not the former soccer player, who at 86 years of age continues to remain silent in response to a paternity that he refuses to acknowledge. The DNA tests attribute that filial bond with Paquita, a 99.9% reliability that is a very determining basis for a judge to issue his sentence in kinship matters. A glass and a cigarette butt, obtained by an expert detective in these cases, were the objects that were examined to reach an irrefutable result of consanguinity between the soccer legend and the Malaga concierge. The judge summoned him three times to take the tests but he did not appear, the last "sit-in" that Paco Gento has given to Justice dates from this same Wednesday. The octogenarian had to appear at the Court of First Instance in Madrid to be questioned by the judge investigating the case and by the prosecutor and lawyers for both parties. The defendant has been represented by his lawyer, who has justified the absence with a medical report and an argument related to the advanced age of the former soccer player. It has been a quick trial of barely 20 minutes in which the lawyers for both parties have made their defense presentations, however the judge has not taken a statement from the detective who obtained the objects that were used for the DNA tests, nor from the scientist from the laboratory where the samples were examined: "It is a good sign because the judge has not seen it necessary to take their statement, she considers that she already has sufficient evidence with the DNA results, and above all, she will take into account that Gento has remained rebellious with Justice and he has not appeared in any of the four summonses he has received", argues Fernando Osuna, Paquita's lawyer. After the trial, ESdiario has contacted Paqui, as he likes to be called, to test his feelings, it has been a year fighting in the courts, but more than six decades (he is 61 years old), knowing who his father is and suffering the indifference of his supposed father: "I have mixed feelings, on the one hand I am happy because I am going to get recognized as daughter of Paco Gento, I fight for the truth to be known. But the other side of my coin is that I am very disappointed in a man who leaves a lot to be desired as a father and as a person. He has always known of my existence, my mother never claimed paternity from him because she wanted to be in the shade and fled from notoriety. She passed away on March 15 of cancer, she has died at the age of 85 without knowing the sentence that will come out in a few days and that will most likely prove me right. I feel nothing for him, no attachment, because he has never shown his face, I don't even know him personally." Paqui speaks with pain of her father, whom she tried to contact without success on more than one occasion 20 years ago, a couple of calls The telephone calls did not give the expected result. Even before fighting in court, Osuna, Paqui's lawyer, tried to reach an agreement to avoid litigation. Now it is too late for agreements, because Paqui Spain has practically won it. Paco Gento He is not only facing the recognition of paternity, the prosecutor has also requested that he pay the costs of the trial that amount to about 8,000 euros As soon as the sentence is published, another melon will be opened, which is the inheritance to which Paqui and his three children They are not willing to give up. Little is known about the value of the heritage of the Madrid legend, there are at least three properties in his name, two in Madrid and another residence on the beach. Paqui does not enjoy a buoyant economy and is in delicate health , is an orderly in the Malaga Auditorium, and her children live with her.

Sara is 28 years old and is studying for the Police exam and David is unemployed. On the verge of being recognized as the daughter of Paco Gento, Paqui reflects: "I no longer have any interest in meeting him, but if that happened and he was in front of me, I would ask him if he is not ashamed that I had to resort to Justice to prove that he is my father. Blood always pulls and in his case it has not been like that. I am happy because I know the truth will be demonstrated."
