Sofía Clerici, central figure in 'Yategate' scandal with Insaurralde, announces pregnancy: 'I will be a single mother'

Argentine media personality Sofía Clerici, recently cleared in a money laundering and illicit enrichment case linked to former official Martín Insaurralde, has announced her pregnancy. The 38-year-old model shared the news via an Instagram video, declaring, "I am going to be a single mother."

I am going to be a single mother.

In the video posted to her account with over two million followers, Clerici asked her audience, "Don't I look prettier? Do you know why, right?" She then confirmed, "Yes! I am pregnant." Clerici mentioned she had recently returned from the United States and was processing the news. She promised to share more details and photos at a later date, acknowledging the significant decision and her current plan to navigate motherhood alone.

Don't I look prettier? Do you know why, right? Well, I confirm it for you: I am pregnant.

Despite the court's decision to dismiss the charges against Clerici, prosecutors Sergio Mola and Diego Velasco have appealed. They argue that the judge's decision, made on his last day in office before a new magistrate took over, was "premature and arbitrary" and that crucial evidence was not gathered. The prosecutors noted a contradiction in the judge's ruling, which acknowledged potential financial inconsistencies requiring investigation while simultaneously clearing Clerici and transferring related testimony to federal court.

“

I know you want to know everything and that you will ask me a lot of things now, but for now I am not going to tell you anything. I just wanted to confirm that.

Clerici had sought dismissal, citing a report that found no evidence Insaurralde provided her with the nearly $600,000 found in her home. The legal situation remains uncertain as the appeal proceeds, while Clerici embraces her upcoming role as a single mother.

The decision of Judge Armella to dismiss Clerici, issued on his last day in charge of the file and one day before the new magistrate assumed his duties, is premature and arbitrary, and was adopted without exhausting decisive evidence-gathering measures.
