BUENOS AIRES: Argentine ex-president Alberto Fernandez was ordered to stand trial for allegedly beating his ex-girlfriend, according to a court ruling issued on Monday.
Fabiola Yanez, 43, filed a complaint against Fernandez, 65 -- by then her ex-partner -- after messages detailing the alleged violence cropped up in a separate fraud investigation against him. The messages, with photographic evidence, were found on the phone of Fernandez´s private secretary, Maria Cantero.
