Overview
- A family court in Pilar dismissed Yanina Screpante’s compensatory claim against Ezequiel “Pocho” Lavezzi and, according to local reports, ordered her to pay trial costs of about $3 million.
- Screpante, who has had police outside her home since Friday after two death threats to her phone, is described by TV panelists as very frightened.
- Her legal team says it will appeal the first‑instance decision, though a family‑law commentator on air argued there may be little room to do so.
- The model’s case, filed as an economic compensation action under family law, cited years spent supporting Lavezzi’s career and an alleged $1.5 million donation promise she says was put in writing but never paid.
- As the legal fight continues, Lavezzi has recently discussed entering addiction treatment for a month and said he remains in ongoing recovery.
