Alberto Fernández was one step away from the oral trial. The Buenos Aires Federal Chamber confirmed on Monday the processing of the former president in the framework of the judicial case who investigates the complaints of gender violence filed by his former partner and former first lady, Fabiola Yañez. With the endorsement of Chamber II of the Court, which resolved by majority, the imputation was ratified by the crimes of minor injuries and seriously aggravated injuries for having occurred in a context of gender violence, in addition to coercive threats.

From this resolution, Fernández was formally in a position to face an oral trialprovided that federal judge Julián Ercolini and the prosecutor of the case, Ramiro González, consider the instruction stage concluded and enable the passage to the oral debate.

The camera failure consists of 82 pages, was signed by the judges Martín Irurzun and Eduardo Farah. The third member of the Court, Roberto Boicohe spoke in dissent and voted in favor of dictating the lack of merit for the former president, that is, leaving the investigation in pause for not finding conclusive evidence.

Irurzun and Farah agreed to support the criteria of Judge Ercolini, who assumed that Fernández exercised physical violence against Yañez on at least two occasions, causing visible bruises on the arm and right eye. They also argued that the former president tried to pressure his former partner to prevent him from advancing with a criminal complaint against him.

“Everything shows that the victim was someone who was notoriously in a situation of inequality of power, Inside and exterior to the couple, in relation to their victimizer, “Irurzun argued in his vote, who adhered his colleague Farah.

In another section of the ruling, the magistrates stated: “There are strong reasons to maintain that the concrete and objective facts that They were preliminary accredited in the case, which included injuries and other forms of gender violence practiced by those who maintained a marked inequality Of power with it, in addition to an isolation (forced by these facts) maintained in a very particular space (guest house of the fifth olive trees) where Fernández was the maximum authority, were certainly the cause of a marked deterioration in the victim’s health conditions. “

The cameramen also focused on the asymmetric link between Fernández and Yañezand how that difference in power would have directly affect the decision of the former first lady not to initially promote criminal action. “It influenced the concretion of coercion to influence Yañez’s decision not to initially urge the criminal action to investigate the facts,” they concluded.
