Tamara Yáñez, the sister of the former Argentine first lady Fabiola Yáñez, disputed former President Alberto Fernández, who has insisted he did not force his ex-wife to have an abortion in 2016.
Yáñez appeared at the Comodoro Py courts in Buenos Aires on Sept. 16 to offer her testimony in the investigation opened by the Prosecutor’s Office following an Aug. 6 complaint filed by Fernández’s ex-wife for sexual violence.
The sister of the former first lady made the claims in Spain.
She testified electronically from the Argentine Consulate in Madrid where she also visited her mother and the two-year-old son she has with the former president.
Lawyer Mauricio D’Alessandro, who is part of Fabiola’s legal team told the legal press corps that the first lady’s sister corroborated that Fernández forced her to have an abortion in 2016.
