Argentina’s Ex-President Alberto Fernández Investigated Over Abuse Allegations
Former Argentine President Alberto Fernández is under investigation after his ex-partner, Fabiola Yáñez, accused him of serious abuse. Yáñez, 43, claims Fernández, 65, inflicted physical and psychological harm during their relationship, which ended when he left office in 2023. She also alleged that he forced her to have an abortion. Fernández denies these accusations, calling them false and claiming Yáñez’s injuries were due to a cosmetic procedure.
Prosecutor Ramiro González has requested that formal charges be filed, and Fernández is currently banned from leaving Argentina as the investigation continues. The case gained public attention after photos of Yáñez with visible bruises were released by the media. A judge will decide whether charges will be formally brought. Fernández served as president from 2019 to 2023 and has been involved in politics since the end of Argentina’s military dictatorship in the early 1980s. This information comes from BBC reports.
