Mexico- It couldn’t start the worst way the first Mexico Erotic Festival that has taken place in Mexico D.F. these lasts days. The arrest, apparently totally irregular, of some of the guest artists, has spoiled what was expected to be a great event to approach sex, eroticism and porn to the people of this country. Last Friday the 30th of July, Nacho Vidal, Rita Faltoyano, Katsumi, Claudia Claire and Jane Darling, were arrested by the police officers during the Festival. Although at first they were just required to go with the officers to solve a bureaucratic procedure, truth is that once in the police premises; they held them incommunicado even without the opportunity to talk with any lawyer or duty solicitor. .
Situation has become almost surrealist, so they were arrested under no other accusation than being carrying out lucrative activities when they were supposed to have entered the country with a tourist entry visa. Spanish actor and the actresses were under arrest for 27 hours¡ At the end, all of them, that were handed to Mexico by IFG, have been expelled out of Mexico and charged with a fine of 3000 euros, but, in addition they all had to sign a document stating they left the country absolutely of their own free will. .
Festival and Spanish company managers’ irritation, is obviously as you can imagine, enormous.Salvador Diago, IFG’s president has declared that they weren’t allowed to take clothes or any kind of food to the actresses that were wearing only a thong¡¡¡ “They have been infested with lice, herpes and even slept on the floor” ,he said. México is, curiously, one of the markets IFG is lately taking most into consideration. Though IFG’ s president has said that all the performers were pleased with the Mexican audience good reception, others have declared that it was simply like being in the third-world, what’s clear anyway, is that Mexico’s reputation doesn’t come out well of this events. .
The beginning of it all came allegedly with an anonymous report that Juli Simón, Festival’s organizer, blames on some hidden business interests.
In spite of it all, Spanish embassy is now putting in train the appropriate investigations to clarify the facts, and in hopes that it finally could be known the origin and the real motivations for such an embarrassing police action. …
