The singer's partner, Jéssica Belén, thanked fans online for their “messages of affection and unconditional support” and said the musician “is fine.” Irribarren said Alvarenga's previous conviction at age 20 could affect the case. He was sentenced to seven and a half years in prison for aggravated robbery involving weapons, minors and injuries. Under Argentine law, the new offense carries a possible sentence of three and a half to eight years, and the prosecutor said the earlier conviction could make it effective prison time.
