Joaquín Levinton recalled two incidents of the police in Chaco: he went from suffering “in bed” to enjoying “immunity”

Joaquín Levinton recalled Saturday night two episodes lived with the Chaco police. According to the singer, gone from being a victim of “a bed” after a concert to be convened later in that same province, but with the benefit of having “police immunity”.

“We were playing in Chaco, and then they invited us to a barbecue, some people we don’t really know who they were. they drugged us and when we go out I take a remís and it doesn’t start ”, the leader of the Turf in began his story “PH: We can talk”.

It was after looking for the precise memory in his head when the host of the program aired Phone He asked guests to go to the so-called “meeting point” which once had problems with the law.

“I saw that police motorcycles closed the road in front and behind. (The driver) says to me ‘skinny, you have drugs, go down’. It was not a remís, it was a patrol car in camouflage, in civilian clothes. A bed ”, recalled Levinton together with the rest of the guests: the journalist Lola Cordero, the model Charlotte Caniggia, the nutritionist Alberto Cormillot and the actor Gustavo Conti.

And he continued with his story: «Let’s all go down, they raise our hands, they tell us to throw away what we have. They look for us and find (drugs). I saw her very messed up because Chaco was very brave at the time. The police had no uniform, no identification whatsoever. fuck It was like they wanted to prove their system worked. “

The artist claimed that the four band members had drugs. “They put it in our pockets. None of them noticed and if anyone did, he didn’t say anything “, he slipped.

“Then I say to the head of the operation ‘It’s okay, but do what you have to do and let’s put an end to this charade, because I also have a certain power and I can make a song that names you and that the whole country hears. ‘ I didn’t say it in a spirit of comparison, otherwise it would have been all wrong, “she said.

At the same time, he said, “the rooms of the Turf hotel were being destroyed, with dogs, a delirium, a total nonsense”. They found nothing there, she said, but they still spent the night at the police station and came out “on the front page of the papers”. “As if we were Guns N ‘Roses,” she compared her at the end of the first part of the story.

The return to the Chaco, with “police immunity”

A short time later, from the northern province of Argentina, they contacted the band again to travel to offer a new show.

“I told them ‘I’m not even going to fart if every time I go there they put me in jail,'” he recalled. And it was there that she found a proposal that she did not expect, but that she loved: “So they tell me “I give you immunity to the police”. ‘Are you screwing me, in writing?’, I tell him ”.

According to his account, the benefit was granted to him and together with the band he returned for the rematch, with one more information: “They gave me the document that I have in my house in a safe and not just immunity, but also a policeman under my responsibility“.

“I arrived in Chaco and ‘go buy me butts, banana’. I sent it to the supermarket, it was the happiest day of my life. I abused the immunity of the police, “he said.

Finally, he commented: “Later, when I go out to play, I tell them (to the spectators) ‘I remind you that I was imprisoned in the Chaco, but look what I have.’ I pulled out the police immunity card, read it before I played. He was like Jim Morrison. “
