Court Dismisses Fernández’s Leak Complaint as Yáñez Returns to Argentina, Two Lawyers Resign

A statute-of-limitations ruling narrows the fight to remaining allegations still moving through court.

Overview

  • A tribunal closed Alberto Fernández’s criminal complaint over the Tamara Pettinato video, granting Fabiola Yáñez a dismissal on prescription grounds after the querella failed to advance the case in time.
  • Attorneys Mariana Gallego and Mauricio D’Alessandro resigned from Yáñez’s representation in the civil support and visitation case and in a contravencional file over alleged impediment of contact.
  • Yáñez appointed Marcela De Leonardis and María Eugenia Sosa to carry forward her defense in the Buenos Aires civil and contravencional proceedings, according to recent filings.
  • After nearly two years in Madrid, Yáñez returned with her son, saying the move seeks to facilitate reconnection with Fernández and denying any illegal retention or forced return, citing a valid Spanish residence permit.
  • Fernández says he requested revocation of the child’s Madrid residency and seeks restitution, asserts an ongoing impediment-of-contact case against Yáñez, and faces a confirmed procesamiento in a separate gender-violence case.
