The lawyer of Candela Arizaga, girlfriend of Facundo Moyano, said that the young woman told him about a night too brave and serious

The lawyer for Candela Arizaga, girlfriend of Facundo Moyano, stated that she described the night they spent together as "too harsh and serious." Diego Storto, representing Arizaga, spoke with reporters after visiting her at the hospital, where she remains under medical care following the incident involving Moyano, who is now under investigation by authorities. According to Storto, his client is recovering but has not yet been able to discuss the details of the situation in depth with him. The meeting lasted just three minutes and focused solely on assessing her health condition. "I asked how she was. She’s recovering, obviously. She isn’t well, she went through a dramatic situation and told me she wasn't ready to talk," he explained. Storto confirmed that he visited Arizaga in the hospital and found her conscious, though still affected by the events. He mentioned that their conversation centered around her physical state. "She isn’t at ten points, but she's okay," he said. When asked what Arizaga had shared about the incident, Storto clarified that they did not delve into specifics. "We talked for three minutes, I didn’t talk about what happened," he responded. Additionally, he noted that Arizaga remained hospitalized with intravenous fluids, so he considered it inappropriate to question her about potential criminal charges at this time. The lawyer also indicated that members of Arizaga’s family would travel from Rosario to support her. In this context, he rejected speculation about whether she might file a complaint against Moyano. "This happened last night, and three hours after she regained consciousness, she doesn’t even know what she’ll be doing in half an hour," he said. Storto emphasized the need to prioritize Arizaga’s well-being. "We shouldn’t re-victimize the situation of a night that, as we all know, was too harsh and serious for them," he urged. Storto confirmed that Arizaga had already given a statement to the specialized unit handling gender violence cases and that he had access to its content, although he chose to keep it confidential. When asked what she had said, he indicated that she described the situation as "tense" or "rude," but clarified that she hadn’t specifically used the word "violent." He also stated that she hadn’t personally told him that she had been a victim of gender-based violence. According to Storto, once Arizaga is in better condition, she will have the opportunity to expand her statement to answer questions posed by the prosecutor. "The legal classification of all cases is provisional. When one sees something, the prosecutor classifies it; then the investigation proceeds," he explained. Storto maintained that it is unclear whether Arizaga will decide to pursue legal action. "That will be determined by her based on whether she wants to initiate the legal process or not," he said. During his exchange with journalists, the lawyer initially suggested the possibility of expanding the complaint, but later clarified that the decision ultimately rests with Arizaga once she is recovered and can evaluate her next steps. The lawyer also avoided commenting on the request for Moyano’s arrest. "It’s not my place to comment on that. There are still measures being developed and will continue to be developed," he stated. According to Storto, the prosecutor requested the arrest and that measure must be validated by the judge. He also pointed out that there are several pending procedures, including obtaining security camera footage, possible searches, and medical examinations.
