Announced Assault Conviction on Julieta Prandi: Previous Remarks by Claudio Contardi
In a landmark ruling, the Criminal Oral Court No. 2 of Zárate-Campana in Argentina has sentenced Claudio Raúl Contardi to 19 years in prison for aggravated sexual abuse. The plaintiff, Julieta Prandi, had requested a 50-year prison sentence for Contardi, while the prosecutor, Christian Fabio, had asked for a 20-year sentence.
The trial, which featured moving testimonies from Prandi, recounted in detail the alleged abuse over more than two years. Prandi described sexual abuse, psychological violence, and threats by Contardi. She appeared visibly emotional and firm in her accusations during her testimony.
Contardi, however, denied all charges against him before the verdict, stating there was always consent in the relationship and accusing his ex-wife of orchestrating a media campaign against him. His defense aimed to counter the accusations by questioning the evidence and relying on witness testimonies that might contradict Prandi's claims. However, specific detailed quotes or a full transcript of his exact defense statement before the verdict were not found in the available search results.

The court also ordered the payment of the process costs and the inclusion of Claudio Contardi in the National Registry of Persons Convicted of Crimes Related to Sexual Integrity. Throughout the process, Contardi claimed that he and his family were intimidated by Julieta Prandi through the media.

Prandi also called for forensic examinations to be made mandatory in such cases. She recounted acts of violence in her judicial statement, including that the sexual attacks began in 2015, after the birth of her second son, Rocco. Prandi encouraged victims living in similar situations to report their experiences.
