Overview
- The Juzgado en lo Correccional N°1 de Zárate‑Campana convicted Ricardo Andrés Diotto on charges of aggravated light injuries and attempted gender‑based violence, handing down a four‑month prison term suspended by the judge.
- Judge Javier Alfredo Romañuk conditioned the suspended sentence on rules of conduct that require Diotto to fix a residence and undergo psychological treatment aimed at improving family ties with Callejón.
- The court, acting ex officio, launched two further investigations into alleged threats and public harassment of a key witness and into an allegation of simple sexual harassment.
- Both parties have signaled continued legal action: Diotto has publicly denied exercising gender‑based violence and plans to appeal, and María Fernanda Callejón has said she will also appeal aspects of the judgment.
- The case stems from an episode in a gated neighborhood in Escobar in June 2022, and the sentence marks a legal milestone that will be shaped by the pending appeals and the outcome of the newly opened probes.
