An Argentine court order issued on Tuesday revealed shocking allegations against former President Alberto Fernández by his ex-partner, Fabiola Yáñez. The court opened a criminal investigation into accusations of psychological terrorism, phone harassment, and physical abuse against Fernández. Yáñez, who testified from her home in Madrid, accused Fernández of daily threats and psychological intimidation, as well as causing her minor injuries in a context of gender-based violence.
Fernández, a left-leaning Peronist politician who served as president from 2019 to 2023, vehemently denied the allegations and vowed to prove his innocence in court. A restraining order was granted to Yáñez, preventing Fernández from coming within 500 meters of her and contacting her. The court also prohibited Fernández from leaving Argentina and ordered him to cease all forms of intimidation or harassment towards Yáñez.
