Overview
- Judge Diego Javier Slupski rejected Leandro García Gómez’s bid for release, keeping him detained after police found Fernández at his Palermo apartment following 19 days without contact with her family.
- Prosecutor Silvana Russi argued continued detention was necessary given the gravity of the alleged unlawful deprivation of liberty and the risk of flight or obstruction.
- The Domestic Violence Office issued an interdisciplinary report classifying Fernández as at high risk, citing patterns of control, isolation and psychological subjugation.
- Fernández said in a livestream with Fabiana Cantilo that she fell ill with a high fever while visiting for her ex’s birthday, denied a new physical assault and expressed sadness over the refusal to grant his release.
- Her mother, Mabel López, is acting as a private complainant and secured protective measures, and the family’s lawyer said he will ask that Fernández testify again, potentially under broader victim frameworks; separately, Nancy Pazos criticized ex Diego Santilli after his election and Maxi López and Wanda Nara displayed a cordial rapport on MasterChef Celebrity.
