Fabiola Yañez, the former first lady of Argentina, has formally accused ex-president Alberto Fernández of severe physical and psychological violence, seeking to escalate the charges beyond minor injuries. In a detailed complaint, she describes a prolonged history of harassment and abuse, asserting that the acts of violence began in 2016 and continued throughout their relationship. Yañez's claims include allegations of coercive threats and psychological terrorism, emphasizing the impact on her mental health and daily life.
The case has drawn significant public attention, with Yañez detailing specific incidents and locations of abuse, including physical altercations that occurred in their shared residence. While the former president denies the allegations, asserting they are false, Yañez's legal team is pushing for a reclassification of the charges to reflect the severity of the alleged crimes, which could lead to more significant legal consequences for Fernández.
