Alberto Fernandez Charged With Domestic Violence

Former Argentine President Alberto Fernandez has been formally charged with domestic violence against his ex-partner, Fabiola Yanez, who alleges he inflicted both physical and psychological harm during their relationship. Prosecutor Ramiro Gonzalez has requested charges for 'minor and serious injuries' and 'coercive threats,' based on evidence that includes text messages and images showing Yanez with visible injuries. The allegations surfaced amid a separate embezzlement investigation involving Fernandez, where details of Yanez's charges were revealed through leaked messages from his secretary's phone. Initially reluctant to press charges, Yanez later filed a criminal complaint after confirming the abuse in a video testimony. Fernandez has categorically denied the accusations and insists he will prove his innocence in court, while also being prohibited from leaving the country during the ongoing investigation. The case highlights issues of domestic violence and gender-based abuse in Argentina, particularly within high-profile relationships.
