Fabiola Yañez has requested that former President Alberto Fernández be sent to trial for charges of gender-based violence, following a federal prosecutor's rejection of his appeal to nullify the case.
Fabiola Yañez, the former First Lady of Argentina, is pressing for former President Alberto Fernández to face trial for allegations of gender-based violence. This request follows a decision by federal prosecutor Ramiro González, who dismissed Fernández's attempt to nullify the legal proceedings against him. The charges include two counts of minor injuries and one count of serious injuries, each aggravated by factors such as the relationship between the parties, abuse of power, and coercive threats. This move signals a significant escalation in a case that has garnered considerable public and media attention.
If the legal process moves forward, Alberto Fernández will be the first former President of Argentina to stand trial for crimes related to gender violence. Yañez's written request stresses the need for timely action, positioning her as a key figure advocating for justice in a legal context that underscores the serious implications of gender-based violence in society. The case has already been confirmed by Judge Julián Ercolini's processing and upheld by the Federal Chamber of Buenos Aires, emphasizing the gravity and legitimacy of the accusations.
