Spanish Actor Gabriel Guevara Arrested on Sexual Assault Warrant in Venice
Spanish Actor Gabriel Guevara Arrested at Venice Film Festival ... On Sexual Assault Warrant
Gabriel Guevara was arrested at the Venice Film Festival this weekend -- but not for anything he allegedly did while there ... it actually stems from something in another country.
The Spanish actor -- famous for a starring role in a new Amazon movie -- got taken into custody by the local authorities Saturday while he was in Venice ... this after an international warrant for his arrest was issued out of France on a sexual assault charge.
The details of the alleged incident have yet to be released -- and the extradition process might take a while too ... as a court of appeals reportedly has to weigh in first.
Guevara was actually set to receive a pretty big award on Sunday -- the day before he was busted -- from the Filming Italy org ... which was going to honor him as the "Best Young Actor." Upon hearing about his arrest, they scrapped that entirely ... and put it on hold.
🔴 #BiennaleCinema2023 #Venezia80 #LaBiennaleDiVenezia would like to specify that the presence in #Venice of Spanish actor #GabrielGuevara, that some press websites have recently reported as being under arrest, was not linked to any activity or production of the 80th Venice…

The Venice Film Festival itself also made sure to distance themselves from the drama, taking to social media to explicitly note he hadn't been accused of any wrongdoing at their event.
Guevara is an up-and-coming star ... he's acted in the film 'My Fault,' as well as well-known shows like "Skam Espana," "You're Nothing Special" and "Cómo mandarlo todo a la mierda."
