Julieta Silva Alleges Extortion in New Case as She Remains Under House Arrest

Her lawyers plan a dismissal motion after prosecutors imputed multiple domestic-violence offenses.

Overview

  • Silva testified this week before prosecutor Fabricio Sidoti, denying the accusations and asserting her husband extorted her with intimate videos and psychological pressure.
  • She continues under preventive detention at home with an electronic ankle monitor following Judge Claudio Daniel Gil’s August 8 order.
  • Prosecutors formally charged her with aggravated unlawful deprivation of liberty in several alleged episodes, aggravated injuries, threats, and disobedience based on Lucas Giménez’s complaint.
  • The investigation began with a July 12 report, Silva was detained on July 24, and forensic examinations and witness statements remain in progress.
  • Her defense says the facts are atypical for the alleged crimes and will seek to rescind house arrest and obtain dismissal, as the file also notes a separate threat complaint from Giménez’s ex-partner.
