Independiente footballer accused of gender-based violence | OneFootball

Independiente is going through a new institutional crisis. Nicolás Tomás Garrido Aparicio, a 20-year-old player for the Avellaneda club’s reserve team, was reported for gender-based violence to the Supreme Court’s Office of Domestic Violence. The accusation was made by his ex-partner, a 21-year-old woman from La Plata, who claims she was held against her will and beaten for more than two hours in the footballer’s apartment in the City of Buenos Aires. The professionals who assessed the case classified it as “high risk,” and the courts acted immediately.

The incident occurred during the early hours of Saturday morning. According to the complaint, the young woman ran into Garrido at a nightclub and then went to the footballer’s apartment. Once there, the assault allegedly began following a jealous confrontation and an “irate outburst” on the part of the player. The victim said she was beaten for more than two hours, suffered a broken nose, and that the footballer took away her cellphone, which prevented her from calling for help at first.

The complaint was filed with the Supreme Court’s Office of Domestic Violence (OVD), and the filing attributes episodes of physical, psychological, and economic violence to the player. The professionals involved classified the situation as “high risk,” which led the young woman to request urgent protective measures.

The court granted the requested measures immediately. Among the provisions adopted were a restraining order within a 200-meter radius, a suspension of any kind of contact by electronic means, telephone, or social media, and the continuation of the panic button for the victim. All of them took effect immediately once the complaint was filed.
