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 Infobae accessed the full forensic report, which includes 8,474 pages of chats since 2017, as well as previously unpublished audio recordings and photos.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.
