• In a YouTube interview published Saturday on Roxana Kreimer’s channel, Fernández claimed Fabiola Yáñez asked for a department and money to avoid taking the dispute to court.
• Fernández also asserted that Yáñez mentioned a lucrative documentary offer and said she was induced to file the complaint, framing both as incentives behind the allegation.
• He criticized Judge Julián Ercolini and pointed to statements from Yáñez’s friends in the case file that attributed bruises to falls linked to alcohol and suggested she took photos to use against him.
• The case stands at a procedural decision point after prosecutors requested elevation to an oral federal trial following a processing for aggravated injuries and coercive threats confirmed by the Cámara Federal.
• If Ercolini sends the case to trial and a court later convicts him, reporting notes that Fernández could face a sentence of up to 15 years in prison.
