Overview
- The Juzgado Nacional en lo Correccional N°11 processed Patricio Albacete on Friday for gender‑based violence, unlawful deprivation of liberty and aggravated minor injuries following a judicial inquiry.
- The court found at least five physical incidents and one episode of sustained harassment, and described the episodes as part of a single dynamic of control rather than isolated events.
- Judges cited a specific episode in which Albacete allegedly locked the apartment door for about twenty minutes and told Pamela Pombo “De acá no te vas,” a fact used to support a charge of unlawful deprivation of liberty aggravated by the relationship.
- The magistrate did not order preventive detention but imposed precautionary measures including a 90‑day exclusion from the shared Recoleta home, reintegration of the victim to the dwelling, provision of a panic button and a 30 million peso preventive embargo on Albacete’s assets.
- The file was sent back to the Fiscalía to continue the probe and consider new protective steps or possible reclassification of charges as prosecutors review the evidence made public by Pombo and recorded in the case.
