Overview

• On July 12 Silva’s husband, Lucas Giménez, called 911 alleging she assaulted him and police documented an escoriation and swelling consistent with blows.
• The Fiscalía de Instrucción N°2 de San Rafael charged Silva with “lesiones leves agravadas por el vínculo” and imposed house arrest with an electronic ankle monitor and a strict no-contact order.
• Under Argentine recidivism law Silva is classified as a repeat offender, meaning any new conviction would carry an effective prison sentence without eligibility for suspended terms or conditional release.
• Silva has denied the assault allegations and lodged her own complaint at the Unidad Fiscal de Violencia de Género, triggering parallel investigations.
• Forensic examinations by the Cuerpo Médico Forense and witness testimonies are underway ahead of a possible abbreviated hearing required in the coming weeks.
