Serious allegation against Independiente player over gender 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 Domestic Violence Office. The accusation was made by his ex-partner, a 21-year-old woman from La Plata, who says 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 early Saturday morning. According to the complaint, the young woman met Garrido at a nightclub and later went to the footballer’s apartment. Once there, the assault allegedly began after a jealous confrontation and an “irascible outburst” by the player. The victim said she was beaten for more than two hours, suffered a broken nose, and that the footballer took her cell phone, preventing her from asking for help at first.

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

The court immediately granted the requested measures. Among the provisions adopted were a restraining order barring him from coming within 200 meters, a ban on any type 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.
