Prosecutors Keep 300‑Meter Restraining Order on Facundo Moyano

The Fiscalía said the measure will remain in place to protect the integrity of an active probe into alleged gender‑based injuries and unlawful confinement.

Overview

  • The Ministerio Público Fiscal rejected the defense request to lift restrictions and kept a 300‑meter no‑approach order plus a ban on any contact while the investigation continues.
  • Moyano is formally accused of lesiones leves (minor injuries) and privación ilegítima de la libertad (unlawful deprivation of liberty) in a case treated by the specialized Gender Violence Fiscalía.
  • Candela Arizaga told prosecutors and the press that she was not a victim, described the episode as a psychotic break after drug use, and asked for the measures to be removed.
  • The defense argued for ending the restrictions using Arizaga’s statements and medical records from Hospital Pirovano, but prosecutors said they will keep the measures while they gather and verify evidence.
  • Moyano briefly returned to social media with a rosary image, the case has heightened public scrutiny because of his public profile, and further judicial steps will depend on evidence development and prosecutor decisions.
