Cause of gender violence: Alberto Fernández’s defense asked to remove prosecutor González

According to what Agencia Noticias Argentinas learned, the former president’s defense made that request due to “absolute loss of confidence” and “affecting the principles of objectivity, legality and officiality” of the investigation.

The presentation was made by Fernández’s defense attorney, Silvina Carreiraone day after Spain will close the process to carry out an examination of Yañez’s cell phone because the former first lady missed two summonses, which led the prosecutor to require new measures of evidence linked to telephone numbers of others close to the couple.

“The investigation has not been carried out with the responsibility that this requires,” Fernández’s defense warned in the brief presented to the federal judge Julián Ercolini, that must resolve the issue.

The lawyer alluded to a “asymmetric relationship” between the defense and the prosecution and stated that she felt “undermining and contempt” towards her activity as a defender.
