Argentinian waiter denies supplying drugs to Liam Payne in first public statement

Braian Nahuel Paiz, an Argentinian waiter identified as Liam Payne's alleged drug dealer, spoke out, denying he supplied drugs to the singer. He admitted to two hotel meetings with Payne, where they consumed drugs together, but claimed he never accepted money. Paiz described their first encounter at a restaurant and a subsequent meeting at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel. He stated that Payne was already under the influence of drugs during their initial meeting and insisted he did not provide any narcotics. Authorities are investigating three individuals, including Paiz, for their roles in Payne's death. Tests revealed that Payne had consumed alcohol and cocaine before his fall, but prosecutors ruled out suicide, stating he was likely unconscious at the time.
