Singer Elián Valenzuela, known as L-Gante, referred to the incident involving his ex-girlfriend Candela Arizaga and union leader Facundo Moyano. In an interview with the program Puro Show (eltrece), the cumbia 420 exponent expressed surprise at the rumors that circulated and provided details about his life with the young woman.
L-Gante’s statements about Arizaga
L-Gante said he learned of the events through the media and found them hard to believe: «I know her, and those words that are said or rumored surprise me because I lived with her for a long time. We lived in the same house. She had an environment, a gym routine, all very healthy. So it surprises me and I don’t quite believe that part.»
Asked if he ever saw her use drugs, he replied: «In my memory, so far, I couldn’t confirm that.» He also highlighted her personality: «She’s a girl who goes forward, if she has to say something, she’ll say it.»
The dog Mafia and the link with Moyano
The singer referred to the dog he gave to his ex-girlfriend, which was involved in the incident. «I’ve spoken with people close to her and they told me she’s doing well. I was worried and tried to get in touch to see if she needed anything. They told me she was in good hands,» he said. He explained that the animal remained in Arizaga’s care because «she has a lot of love for animals.»
Regarding his relationship with Moyano, L-Gante said he knows him from a work commitment and was not aware of the link with his ex-girlfriend: «I wasn’t so aware of that. I also know him. Once I was at a work commitment with him and that’s it, up to there.»
Context of the incident according to La Nación
La Nación reported that Arizaga, 23, was born in Rosario, works as a model and promoter, and has more than 300,000 followers on Instagram. According to the police report, Moyano was detained and both were intercepted at the corner of Virrey Vértiz and Sucre. Investigation sources indicated they showed signs compatible with drug use. Arizaga was taken to Pirovano Hospital, and Moyano was released after being questioned but remains under investigation.
