    Uruguay: National Party leader arrested for fabricating assault claims against candidate Orsi

    Uruguay: Alleged “operation” against Yamandú Orsi sparks controversy amid assault allegations

    Orsi has stated his intention to face the judicial process initiated by the Prosecutor's Office rather than filing a complaint for defamation and slander.

    The campaign manager for Frente Amplio presidential pre-candidate Yamandú Orsi, Francisco Legnani, has raised concerns over what he calls an orchestrated “operation” against the Uruguayan politician following an alleged assault that occurred in 2014 against a trans woman who filled a complaint this week.
