Fernandez: ”’Oh, what you have to see is Sandra’s production.” What Sandra, your mother’s pussy? It must be a shitty series. And when I want to watch an Argentine film I can’t watch it because they’re all shit? But this one, like your friend does… go to hell, you and all your babies, idiot.”.
Yanez: “Shhh, shhh, lower your voice. You always did this, you kept me away from all the people who were a threat to you.”.
Fernandez: “But keep them, idiot. What a threat…”
Yanez: “All the people who were a threat to you…”
Fernandez: “Go keep them, idiot, keep them and leave me alone”.
Yanez: “Why do I have to keep them? What comment did I make that you took so badly?”.
According to the Infobaethe material is in the hands of Judge Julián Ercolini and prosecutor Ramiro González, who are handling the case. They also have access to photos of Yañez with alleged bruises and other evidence presented by the former first lady’s defense.

UNDERSTAND
Alberto Fernández’s alleged attacks on Fabiola Yañez were discovered during investigations by Argentine authorities into the former president for alleged corruption during his presidency.
At the time, the cell phone of María Cantero, former secretary to the former First Lady of Argentina, was collected by authorities for analysis. On it, investigators discovered images of Yañez, which were made public on the internet, with a black eye and an injury on her arm.
When the photos were leaked, she was contacted by the Argentine Justice Department and decided to formalize the case. Yañez said the violence began before Fernández took office in 2019. The couple had been together since 2014 and ended their relationship in 2024.
Fabiola Yáñez currently lives in Madrid (Spain) with her son Francisco Fernández Yáñez, aged 2. The child is the result of her relationship with the former president.
