Sick pranksters drop ‘dead pig’ from helicopter into millionaire’s swimming pool – The Sun
ASTONISHING footage shows a dead animal being thrown from a helicopter into the swimming pool of a millionaire businessman.
Retail mogul Federico Alvarez Castillo, 60, says he was targeted by vandals as part of a “sick joke” at his holiday home in Uruguay.
Video of the extraordinary moment has went viral leading to accusations that the incident was a publicity stunt.
Castillo’s model wife Lara Bernasconi told local media the animal was a lamb, although it has been reported that a pig plunged into the pool near the luxury resort of Punta del Este.
Divorced dad-of-four Federico, an Argentinian who founded designer clothing firm Etiqueta Negra, vented his rage after social media users accused him of staging the stunt for publicity.
On Instagram, he wrote: “In respect of the video that is circulating on social media, I want to repudiate this act of vandalism which my family and I were victim of and clarify that when the incident happened we were inside our house and heard a loud noise in the garden.
“When we went out to see what it was, we saw the disgusting action which caused us a great deal of upset as a very very sick joke.
“For this reason we repudiate these types of actions and we are working towards clarifying what happened as soon as possible.”
