A 21-year-old man has been sentenced to one year of conditional imprisonment in Salta province, Argentina, for two acts of violence and disobedience to justice. The latest incident occurred during an argument when he struck his partner in the head with a stick, resulting in her hospitalization. According to the Argentine News Agency (NA), citing the Salta provincial prosecutor's office, the case was presented by auxiliary prosecutor Roque López Hinojó. The accused confessed to the crimes of aggravated injuries due to a pre-existing partner relationship and gender-based violence, as well as judicial disobedience. In October 2021, he had already been notified of precautionary measures by the Family and Gender Violence Court. The second crime occurred on December 8, 2023, in Chicoana. The man's ex-partner confronted him about a shortage of saddle fabrics, which led him to become violent. He then grabbed a stick and hit her on the head. As a result of the assault, the woman was taken to a regional hospital and later transferred to the San Bernardo Hospital, where she received medical attention for her injuries. Judge Paola Marocco accepted the accused's confession and sentenced him to one year of conditional imprisonment, imposing rules of conduct, including a prohibition on approaching the victim and committing acts of physical violence.
