Military Personnel Accused of Assaulting Wounded Marine After Training Incident faced Trial
Rewritten Article:
Looks like six members of the Argentine Navy are in hot water after a marine suffered a serious injury during an anti-riot training exercise. The suspects are being charged with gender and institutional violence by federal judge Sandra Arroyo Salgado. A court order was issued to prevent them from contacting the victim.

The incident took place at the Central Military Hospital in Belgrano, where the marine had to be admitted after receiving a brutal blow during a practice in the naval jurisdiction of Vicente López. Initially, eight superior officers were detained, but only six remained linked to the case.
Judge Arroyo Salgado decided to accuse one of the suspects, who happened to be the marine's ex-partner, for serious injuries, treachery, gender violence, and abuse of authority. The other five were charged with abuse of authority and neglect of duty.
According to Fiscales.gob.ar, preventive imprisonment was imposed on the accused, responsible for the flying kick that caused the marine's injuries. It seems the kick led to a two-week hospitalization in an induced coma.
Previously, the prosecutor and the federal prosecutor requested the inclusion of gender violence evidence in the case. Information suggests the marine was victimized by his partner, who authored the injuries.
After processing the six members of the Navy, Judge Arroyo Salgado issued a prohibition for the suspects to avoid contact with the marine. She also notified the Ministry of Defense and the president of the Unicameral Commission on National Defense of the Senate about the case's progress.
The events happened on April 4, when the marine was seriously injured during an anti-riot instruction exercise. After hitting her head, witnesses reported that she lay on the ground without immediate assistance while the training continued. Upon getting up, she complained of severe headache but was not attended to until taken to the base's infirmary.
The marine was diagnosed with diffuse axonal injury—a severe form of brain trauma—and had to be hospitalized for at least two weeks. Following recovery from pneumonia and a kidney infection, she was confirmed to have woken up and no longer required respiratory assistance as of April 17.
The Navy started an internal investigation, conducted according to naval procedure regulations. If found guilty, the naval personnel could face dismissal, retirement, or even severe penalties according to the military discipline code.
It's worth noting that this case brings to light issues of gender-based and institutional violence within the Argentine Navy, drawing significant attention due to the severity of the injuries and the alleged abuse of authority during the training. Unfortunately, there are currently no updates on the final outcomes or legal resolutions of this case.
