Overview
- The episode began early Tuesday when Candela Arizaga ran seminudew and disoriented from the ViewPoint building in Belgrano and police later detained Facundo Moyano after a 911 call from the building reported a medical emergency.
- Moyano was formally charged with minor injuries and unlawful deprivation of liberty but was released after questioning and ordered to stay at least 300 meters away from Arizaga, to fix a domicile and to present for future judicial calls.
- On Thursday Arizaga returned to the Unidad de Flagrancia Norte to expand her testimony, said she suffered a "brote psicótico" she linked to drug use, denied that Moyano assaulted her and formally asked the fiscalía to remove the precautionary measures.
- Investigators have added the 911 recording, security-camera footage, SAME medical notes and seized items linked to drugs, including a syringe, and are conducting toxicology and other forensic tests to reconstruct what happened before she left the apartment.
- The case remains a developing criminal file with high public attention because of Moyano's political profile and the mixed accounts; the next steps to watch are the results of pericial tests and whether prosecutors keep, change or drop the gender‑violence qualifications.
