Multiple Charges in Liam Payne Drug Case

Ezequiel David Pereyra, a former hotel employee, has surrendered to Argentine authorities after being accused of supplying drugs to former One Direction member Liam Payne before his fatal fall from a Buenos Aires hotel balcony on October 16, 2024. Pereyra, 21, was charged with selling cocaine to Payne, reportedly for $100, and turned himself in through his lawyer following increased police pressure. This development follows the arrest of another hotel employee, Braian Nahuel Paiz, who also faces similar charges. Several individuals, including Payne's representatives and hotel staff, have been charged in connection with the incident, facing potential sentences ranging from four to 15 years if convicted. Investigations continue as authorities piece together the events that led to Payne's tragic accident.
