The lawyer for Candela Arizaga, who is reportedly a victim in an incident involving Facundo Moyano, has offered a brief glimpse into her recovery and the ongoing investigation. Diego Storto met with Arizaga, who remains hospitalized, and described the encounter as brief, focusing solely on her health.
I asked her how she was. She is recovering, of course. She is not well, she went through a dramatic situation and told me she was not in a state to talk.
"I asked her how she was. She is recovering, of course. She is not well, she went through a dramatic situation and told me she was not in a state to talk," Storto told reporters. He confirmed that while Arizaga is conscious, she is still affected by the events and is receiving intravenous fluids. Her family is traveling from Rosario to provide support.
I asked what the main thing was, how she was physically. She is not ten points, but she is well.
Storto, acting as the plaintiff's attorney, refrained from speculating on whether Arizaga will file a formal complaint against Moyano. He emphasized that the priority is her well-being and that pressuring her for an immediate decision would be inappropriate, given the severity of the night's events.
I spoke for three minutes, I didn't talk about what happened.
Arizaga has already provided a statement to a specialized unit for gender violence. Her lawyer confirmed he has reviewed its contents, which he described as detailing a "tense" or "difficult" situation. However, he noted that Arizaga did not personally use the word "violent" when describing the incident to him, nor did she explicitly state she was a victim of gender violence. The legal classification of the case remains provisional as the investigation progresses.
Let's not re-victimize the situation of a night that, as we all know, was too tough and serious for them.
