The thieves also walked through the 31st Goya Awards gala held last Saturday. Several individuals seized jewelry from the Suárez brand valued at more than 30,000 euros that were in a room at the Hotel Auditorium in Madrid that hosted the event. They were stolen from a room where clothes and objects that were used throughout the ceremony that took place in the Príncipe Felipe Congress Center of the aforementioned hotel were kept.

The National Police has focused its first line of investigation on a worker as the author of the robbery. The agents in charge of the case shuffle as the main hypothesis that the theft occurred during the celebration of the annual ceremony of the Film Academy by some employee of this institution who knew which was the hotel room where the stolen jewels were kept.

The head of production of the gala and the head of hotel security reported the robbery yesterday afternoon at the San Blas district police station in Madrid. According to the reported facts, a ring, four sets of cufflinks, a set of earrings and one or two watches were stolen. In total about 30,000 euros in designer jewelry that the firm Suárez contributed to the gala for free for the guests to wear.

The complainants did not know if the jewels were used during the gala by the presenter or the guests, although the truth is that the host of the event, Dani Rovira, wore Suárez cufflinks during the night.

The room where the jewels disappeared is a place where numerous people entered and left throughout the night and the weekend. In that room there was a room where there were several boxes and other items used for the gala.

According to the complainants, the jewelry was left in an unmarked box behind a television monitor. It was hidden and, in theory, very few people knew that the jewels were hidden there.

Finding the robbery

The discovery of the theft occurred yesterday, Monday morning, when the managers were preparing to notify the jewelry brands to collect the items left for the gala. In the recount, the organizers warned that the jewels of the Suárez firm did not appear. The promoters contacted the people who had been in the room and also the Auditorium hotel. Nobody knew anything about that package of jewels, so the case was transferred to the San Blas police station. The complaint states that the door of the room had not been forced, so it is suspected that the people who stole the jewelry had access to the rooms or to that room of the hotel.

The Police investigate the case and have asked the hotel establishment for the footage of the security cameras collected throughout the weekend.

Normally, jewelry firms that leave their items for this type of event usually have security guards who are responsible for guarding the pieces. The Suárez company did not want to offer data on the events yesterday and did not confirm whether they had any surveillance service to prevent any theft.

In addition to the jewels, there is also another complaint by various operators of Televisión Española who suffered the theft of various material during the ceremony. Specifically, two lenses, several memory cards, two camera batteries, lids, a flash and some glasses disappeared. These objects were left in a part of the stage and were not found when they were collected at the end of the gala.
