Former Argentine President Charged With Gender Violence

Argentina's President Alberto Fernandez attends a joint press conference with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, at the government house in Buenos Aires, Argentina, June 13, 202

A federal prosecutor in Argentina has formally charged the country's former President with committing violence against his ex-partner, the former first lady. The charges include 'minor and serious injuries, doubly aggravated' and 'coercive threats' against the ex-partner, as per the ruling seen by The Associated Press.

The prosecutor has also requested additional evidence measures, including taking testimonies from former presidential doctor and former secretary of the president. The former President, a left-leaning Peronist politician who served from 2019 to 2023, has vehemently denied the allegations and vowed to prove his innocence in court.
