The arrest of Romanus Nnamani, known as Isi, in France has been a difficult ordeal for Raquel Mosquera’s family. After eight months apart, Mosquera was able to visit her husband in prison, marking their first face-to-face contact since his detention. According to Divinity, he was arrested on drug trafficking charges, which upended the family’s routine life in Madrid.
The visit to the correctional facility lasted about half an hour and was accompanied by the camera crew from the ‘De viernes’ program. Mosquera explained that Isi was detained after drugs were found hidden in his stomach. She said the situation arose from financial difficulties linked to the construction of a hotel in Nigeria, where Isi’s relative—who managed the project—ended up in debt and pressured him into transporting illegal substances.
Family support
Despite the current circumstances, Mosquera emphasizes her intention to support her husband and to work towards having him transferred to Spain to serve the remainder of his sentence. She notes that Isi feels deep guilt toward his family and is concerned for their well-being. According to her, after the prison visit, Isi was able to speak with their children by phone—a significant moment for the whole family.
Amid all the uncertainty, Mosquera is trying to maintain a stable routine for the children. She continues working and focuses on their daily needs, aiming to minimize the emotional impact of the situation on them. She makes a special effort to ensure that the children do not see her cry or sense the anxiety of the adults.
Children’s reactions
According to Mosquera, the children are struggling with their father’s absence, but she tries not to show any signs of weakness. She believes it is important to display resilience and confidence so the children feel safe. Meanwhile, while in detention, Isi constantly inquires about his family’s well-being and asks Mosquera to take care of the children.
The family continues to live in Madrid, where they previously shared moments from their life on social media. Now Mosquera has to cope with new challenges arising from her husband’s absence and the need to maintain stability at home. According to russpain.com, such situations are a serious test for families facing sudden changes due to legal issues affecting one parent.
Relationship history
Raquel Mosquera and Isi have been together for more than ten years. Their relationship began when Isi managed an entertainment venue and gradually grew into a strong family. In 2014, the couple made their relationship public, and in 2015 their son Romeo was born. Mosquera is also raising a daughter from a previous relationship. In 2024, the couple officially married in a religious ceremony near Madrid.
Before his arrest, Isi was actively engaged in the hospitality business, owning several venues in Móstoles, including a pub and a restaurant. However, after his detention, his role in both the family and the business changed, and Mosquera took on responsibility for the children’s well-being and managing the family budget.
Family issues and their impact on children are becoming increasingly relevant in Spanish society. Recently, public attention was drawn to a story about a conflict between parents over a paternity test, where disagreements about registering a child and the father’s rights sparked widespread debate. More details about how this situation unfolded can be found in the article about the dispute between Julen Pereira and Jaime Baez.
Raquel Mosquera is a Spanish entrepreneur and television presenter, well-known for her participation in various TV projects and active civic engagement. Her personal life has often been discussed in the media, especially after her marriage to Isi. Over the years, the couple faced many challenges, but Mosquera has always emphasized the importance of family values and supporting loved ones. In recent years, she has been deeply involved in raising her children and continues her professional activities despite personal difficulties.
