Overview

• Peñalva identified the alleged stalker as economist Walter Graziano and said the harassment escalated from dozens of daily messages to in-person encounters at a restaurant, her gym, and her workplace.
• Judicial sources confirm the latest complaint was filed last Friday at Buenos Aires City’s Fiscalía 18, where Prosecutor Juan Cruz Ártico labeled the case as hostigamiento.
• Ártico ordered no-contact and stay-away measures and initiated evidentiary steps, while Graziano presented himself at the prosecutor’s office with a lawyer.
• Peñalva reports using a panic button and moving with round-the-clock accompaniment, yet describes continuing fear and difficulty carrying out daily activities.
• She criticizes slow and insufficient responses from police and courts, citing earlier civil and police complaints and practical limits of the panic-button device.
