Emiliano Blanco, former director of the Federal Penitentiary Service, was denounced for committing gender-based violence against his ex-partner and her two children. Due to the lack of response from the justice system, the victim's environment maintains that the justice system is delaying measures against the former official, who was previously investigated for complicity in allowing inmates to use cell phones inside prisons and for alleged illegal espionage during the government of Mauricio Macri. The case began at the end of August 2025 when the woman, through her lawyer Rodrigo Tripolone, denounced Blanco for gender-based violence, so immediately the corresponding expert reports were carried out, which allowed the facts to be classified as "high risk" according to the interdisciplinary body of the Office of Domestic Violence (OVD) of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation. According to information provided to the Argentine News Agency, the report describes that the cases occurred "from the beginning of the relationship" and included death and femicide threats, sexual abuse attempts, psychological and economic violence against the mother of his children, as well as psychophysical damage to minors. "You come out cheaper dead," Blanco would have warned his ex-partner while they were still living together. In the document, the judge accredited the verisimilitude of what the woman recounted. In the accusation, it is expressed that the former official and the victim were separated in fact, although they continued to live in the same house, due to the action of the accused: "I had nowhere to go because he always took care of denigrating my jobs and practically driving me crazy so that I would leave them, in order to be able to exercise greater control over me and the kids," the complainant stated. Another point that was presented in the case is what happened one night when Blanco, under the effects of alcohol, "forced the door of the room where I was sleeping with my then 3-year-old son to show me his genitals and ask me 'who has it bigger, your little boyfriend or me?'". Likewise, in an exchange of messages between both, which was contributed to the judicial file, the former head of the Federal Penitentiary Service recognized the phrase by denying the moment, but not the content of the threat. Anything can become a perfect alibi and get out clean. Don't say anything because he is going to scold me. Because he has your photos apart.
