The investigation into former congressman Facundo Moyano, accused of alleged assault and unlawful detention of his girlfriend Candela Arizaga, has heard testimony from the first witnesses.

Judicial sources confirmed that the testimonies of the building's security employees, Juan Ramón Pavón and Diego Nahuel Astrada, along with neighbor Nelson David Maza, have concluded. Maza reportedly called the 911 emergency line to report the incident that occurred in the early hours of Tuesday, August 4, in the Belgrano neighborhood.

Additional testimonies are scheduled throughout August. These include police officers, medical personnel who attended to Arizaga and Moyano, and domestic staff.
