Gordo Dan's lawyer is charged with threats against Marcela Pagano, and responds with a complaint against the prosecutor, Franco Bindi, and Jorge Rial.

Representative Marcela Pagano, a member of the La Libertad Avanza bloc, is in a fierce legal battle against libertarian lawyer Alejandro Sarubbi Benítez , whom she filed a complaint against before the Buenos Aires courts and also before the Public Bar Association for "threats and incitement to violence," according to the complaint obtained by Clarín.
Representative Pagano is in a relationship with Franco Bindi, whom Sarubbi Benítez, in turn, accused of threatening him. That's why he filed a complaint against them, along with the prosecutor in charge of the case, Jorge Rial, and two other people, whom he accused of being part of an "illegal association" to intimidate him.
In the complaint Pagano filed with the Public Prosecutor's Office in the city of Buenos Aires, she obtained from prosecutor Celsa Ramírez the charge against Sarubbi Benítez for "having publicly intimidated her" and "having instigated her followers to express themselves against the aforementioned, who reported having suffered threats, also stating that if she did not vote in a certain way they would come to her house, with the clear intention of inflicting a serious and illegitimate harm upon her person," according to the prosecutor's opinion.
Sarubbi Benítez is the lawyer for Daniel Parisini, alias Gordo Dan; he is also a panelist on a program on the streaming channel Carajo, hosted by Gordo Dan. He attended the hearing at the Buenos Aires prosecutor's office accompanied by Libertarian congresswoman Lilia Lemoine , and also offered another Libertarian congressman, Bertie Benegas Lynch , as one of his witnesses.
Pagano's complaint was for various messages that Sarubbi Benítez published on his personal X account (formerly Twitter), along with the comments that other users of that social network made regarding those messages.
There, the congresswoman stated that "the aforementioned person began a campaign to expose me and agitate his followers in an attempt to influence me by threatening to come to my home address, both me and my newborn daughter, conduct that falls under the crime of simple threats," Pagano stated in her legal complaint.
In addition, this Thursday Pagano filed another complaint with the Disciplinary Tribunal of the Public Bar Association of the Federal Capital , where he demanded that his professional license be revoked, not only for the threats he claims to have received, but also for offensive expressions towards other people whom he called "mongoloid", "AIDS sufferer", "transvestite" and "pedophile", among other terms, "with the intention of degrading, humiliating and publicly disqualifying third parties for reasons of health, disability, sexual orientation or with unfounded accusations of abhorrent crimes".
"Dr. Sarubbi Benítez has engaged in public conduct that is incompatible with professional ethics, exceeding the freedom of expression and encompassing insulting, discriminatory, offensive, and reckless language , with clear disciplinary implications," the national representative from the La Libertad Avanza bloc stated in her complaint to the Public Bar Association.
Attorney Sarubbi Benítez challenged the prosecutor who charged him with threats and filed a complaint this Thursday against the prosecutor, Representative Pagano, Jorge Rial, Santiago Sautel (a journalist with Realpolitik), and Valentina Etulain (a Buenos Aires City government official), accusing them of "criminal association," according to judicial sources who spoke to Clarín.
The lawyer also accused prosecutor Celsa Ramírez of "failing to comply with the court order" requiring the removal of information about his minor son from the case file.
Sarubbi Benítez filed a written statement on Thursday in which she revealed several messages from Pagano and Franco Bindi, "Pagano's current partner and the father of their child," which she described as "threatening."
There, he claimed that both have been threatening to spread information about his minor son, to whom "they could cause irreparable harm to his person and even his life. Especially considering that Franco Bindi was a fugitive for two years, wanted by Interpol, in the context of a child abduction case, regardless of the outcome," Sarubbi Benítez stated in his statement, according to judicial sources told Clarín .
In his brief, Sarubbi Benítez argued that "new facts" arose after the hearing last month, leading him to again challenge prosecutor Ramírez, accusing her of being part of an "illegal association" along with Pagano, Bindi, Etulain, and Sautel.
"We have Marcela Pagano threatening to spread information about my one-year-old son, her partner Franco Bindi issuing the same threat and even releasing a clandestinely obtained photo, journalist Jorge Rial instigating the publication of information about the minor, and journalist Santiago Sautel claiming he has the complete file, including my son's details," Sarubbi Benítez stated in his statement.
And he added that Representative "Pagano publishes screenshots of a confidential case to which she cannot have access; and that a person completely unrelated to this circumstance, such as Valentina Etulain, also has the digital copy of the file in her possession. A circumstance that is only reprehensible to the representative of the Public Prosecutor's Office, Celsa Ramírez, due to her illegal, clandestine and criminal conduct . Only she or someone in her charge could have provided the file to people unrelated to the process," said Sarubbi Benítez, according to judicial sources told Clarín.
The public feud between representatives Marcela Pagano and Lilia Lemoine has been brought to court in this case involving a lawyer very close to Lemoine, Benegas Lynch, and "El Gordo Dan" on one side; while Bindi, Etulain, and journalists Rial and Sautel are on the other side.
