Overview
- The investigation began after security cameras and police records showed Candela Arizaga running semidesnuda on Avenida del Libertador during the early hours of Tuesday, and she was taken to Hospital Pirovano for treatment.
- Facundo Moyano was detained, questioned and held for about 15 hours before being released while remaining formally charged with alleged minor injuries and unlawful deprivation of liberty in a gender‑based context.
- Arizaga told the prosecutor she did not suffer violence, described having had a psychotic episode and asked that restrictions on Moyano be lifted, a stance the defense used to request the end of the measures.
- The public prosecutor rejected the defense request and kept the prohibition on contact and the 300‑metre exclusion zone in place as evidence is analysed and the case proceeds.
- Moyano has resumed limited social media activity and the case is drawing sustained public attention because of his past role as a lawmaker, his union leadership and questions about his and his union's finances, which could shape political and legal fallout.
