Argentina's former first lady, Fabiola Yanez, accused her husband, Alberto Fernandez, of abuse. Yanez, who had bruises all over her body, claimed that she was constantly threatened and subjected to violence. Fernandez, who is under investigation, has been issued a restraining order and a travel ban.
The former first lady of Argentina, Fabiola Yanez, accusing former president Alberto Fernandez of physical and emotional abuse has shocked the country. The published photos revealed bruises on Yanez's body.
The federal court of Buenos Aires has initiated a comprehensive criminal investigation against Fernandez for these serious allegations of "psychological terror," phone harassment, and physical abuse. Yanez claimed that Fernandez constantly threatened, frightened, and physically assaulted her.
In leaked messages, Yanez can be seen writing to Fernandez, "You have been hitting me for three days!" These messages demonstrate the continuity and severity of the alleged abuse. Fernandez, on the other hand, vehemently denied all the accusations and stated that he would prove the truth in court.
Judge Julian Ercolini, considering the gravity of the allegations, issued a restraining order against Fernandez, prohibiting him from approaching Yanez and banned him from leaving the country. Additionally, he requested police protection to ensure Yanez's safety.
These shocking allegations, combined with the deep economic crisis that Argentina experienced during Fernandez's presidency from 2019 to 2023, further damaged the former president's already shaken reputation. Having lost the public's trust to a great extent due to economic problems, Fernandez now has to deal with this personal scandal.
The incident has caused a major uproar in Argentina and deeply shaken the country's political agenda. Intense debates have started in society regarding the private lives and behaviors of high-level politicians. This situation has also sparked a new discussion about violence against women and the accountability of political figures.
