Leaked chats: Alberto Fernández was arguing with Yañez out of fear of the AFIP

The legal case for "gender-based violence" against former president Alberto Fernández added an explosive element in recent hours: the contents of his cell phone, seized in August 2024 by order of Judge Julián Ercolini. Infobae accessed the full forensic report, which includes 8,474 pages of chats since 2017, as well as previously unpublished audio recordings and photos. The material details repeated fights with Fabiola Yañez, threats, accusations of abuse, and references to AFIP, Javier Milei, and even suicide attempts.

One of the most revealing conversations took place on February 12, when Fernández expressed to Yañez his concern about tax issues related to her work in Spain. "I don't want to have problems with AFIP," he wrote, warning her that if she caused income from abroad, she had to declare it due to the double taxation treaty between Argentina and Spain. Yañez's response was blunt: "This is constant harassment. I can't take it anymore."

Violence, control, and mutual accusations

The verbal violence escalated that same month. Fernández went so far as to write: "You're the worst thing that's ever happened to me... As of today, you're dead to me." She, meanwhile, accused him of treating her mother like an employee, of physical abuse, and of psychological manipulation. In another message, she warned him: "Your psychopathy makes me afraid."

The fights included arguments over money, rent, and even the car they used in Madrid. In one conversation, the former president clarified that he paid for everything with his salary as a professor at Universidad Camilo José Cela, where he earned about 17,500 euros per month.

Scandal and emotional crisis

August 2 was a key day. Attorney Juan Pablo Fioribello informed Fernández that journalists were investigating the contents of his secretary's phone. From that point on, the chats with Yañez became even more intense. She reported that he had hit her on several occasions, while the former president insisted that he still loved her and appeared emotionally broken. "For the first time, I thought about ending my life... I won't do it because it would leave you and Francisco in a very weak situation," he wrote.

Suspicious gaps and references to Milei

The forensic experts noted that there are no records between March and December 2019, the presidential campaign period. There are also missing messages from 2020 and 2021. In the recovered texts, there are strong criticisms of Javier Milei. "If Milei keeps going like this, he's going to cause a civil war," he wrote in March 2024. Later, he described him as "a psychiatrically disturbed person" and predicted an energy crisis that "will blow the country to pieces."

He also mentioned that Gabriela Cerruti helped him "stop" information in the media. "Things that Milei throws out with information he gets from Olivos," he warned.
