What Ventura said about Flor Peña's intimate video
During his appearance on A la tarde (América TV), Luis Ventura explained how he found out about the existence of the video featuring Florencia Peña and her then-partner, Mariano Otero.
According to him, someone contacted him to offer the material in exchange for money. “They offered me the video for 10 pesos. I didn't have that money, but I wanted the material so it wouldn't come out,” he asserted.
The journalist maintained that his intention was to prevent the dissemination and to hand it directly to the actress through a close contact. “The arrangement was to buy it to give it to Florencia,” he stated.

Ventura recounted that he eventually handed over part of the money, although he never received the promised material. Days later, the video began circulating on social media and various websites.
“I left half the money and he left me a phone number. Three days later, the video was everywhere,” he narrated on air.
