Ex‑Gran Hermano Contestant Accused of Gender Violence After Court Search Finds Firearms

Prosecutors have opened a criminal investigation to gather evidence following a complaint brought by the accused’s former partner and backed by her family.

Overview

  • The accused, Giuliano “Nano” Vaschetto, was formally reported by his ex‑partner for years of alleged physical, verbal and psychological abuse and repeated threats.
  • A court‑ordered allanamiento at Vaschetto’s home in Venado Tuerto resulted in police seizing multiple weapons and ammunition, reported as a .38 revolver, a .22 carbine, a 16‑gauge shotgun and other rounds.
  • The accuser described specific threats and episodes she says included being grabbed, a chokehold technique and repeated encouragements to self‑harm that prompted her to seek help from family and file the complaint this past weekend.
  • Vaschetto denies the allegations, says the firearms are regulated hunting guns he inherited from his late father, and has signaled he will present messages and other evidence in his defense.
  • The investigation remains open and active with prosecutors collecting material evidence and media attention intensified by Vaschetto’s public profile and the couple’s shared nine‑year‑old son, which could shape next judicial steps and custody considerations.
