Braian recently admitted to drinking whiskey and taking cocaine with the former One Direction star during a meeting at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. However, he insisted he was not Liam’s drug dealer and said he refused to take money for the drugs. Pereyra, 21, who is locally identified as the hotel worker suspected of delivering drugs to Liam in a Dove soap box, has remained silent since it was revealed he was under formal investigation.

This statement contradicts claims that the Strip That Down hitmaker was acting erratically and was intoxicated before his fatal fall from his third-floor hotel balcony on October 16.The businessman, who has been accused of abandoning Liam before his death, has consistently maintained his innocence. He was named as one of the men under investigation in local reports.Liam Payne sadly died last month ( Image: Getty Images) In a statement last month, he said, “I never abandoned Liam, I went to his hotel three times that day and left 40 minutes before this happened. There were over 15 people at the hotel lobby chatting and joking with him when I left. I could have never imagined something like this would happen.”He added, “I’ve given my statement to the prosecutor on October 17 as a witness and I haven’t spoken to any police officer or prosecutor ever since. I wasn’t Liam’s manager. He was just my very dear friend.”The final image of Liam has surfaced, showing both Grassi and Martin accompanying him to his room shortly before his tragic fall from the third-floor balcony. The chief receptionist of the hotel, who called emergency services just before Liam’s passing and is now a suspect, is yet to speak out publicly.Leaked texts presented to investigators suggest that Liam had requested cocaine from a bellboy at CasaSur Palermo Hotel soon after arrival, even branding him “useless” for not being able to assist. This hotel employee also claimed Liam frequently called the front desk to order alcohol and inquire about purchasing cocaine.

Following their questioning, Judge Laura Bruniard has a 10-day window to decide whether to press charges as part of an ongoing criminal investigation or drop the case.Before expanding the suspects to five, a statement on November 7 by prosecutors indicated that three unnamed individuals were being questioned for potential abandonment leading to death and drug provision and facilitation, with one described as someone who “routinely accompanied Liam during his stay in Buenos Aires.”Tests have shown the singer binged on alcohol and cocaine before he died and also had traces of an antidepressant in his system. Prosecutors have dismissed the notion that Liam committed suicide, stating he was in a state of “semi or total unconsciousness” when he fell from his hotel balcony, unaware of his actions.
