David Nalbandian put covert cameras in the air conditioning unit of the apartment he shared with Araceli Torrado, and now he’s been accused of secretly filming her.
David Nalbandian, who lost to Lleyton Hewitt in the Wimbledon final in 2002, has been charged with surreptitiously recording his ex-partner.
29-year-old Araceli Torrado charged 41-year-old Nalbandian of installing covert cameras in the air conditioning system. The cameras were discovered by her brother after he noticed a glare in the apartment, according to the German newspaper Bild. The City of Buenos Aires prosecutor’s office determined that Nalbandian had placed them there, but since they both lived there, no crime was committed.
But now Araceli is suing him for allegedly stalking and harassing her. “In light of the questions I receive about the events of which I was a victim and whose author was David Nalbandian,” the woman wrote on social media.
“I would like to notify you that I am initiating both the related civil and criminal legal proceedings. I appreciate your help.
Additionally, Bild claims that she stated in the indictment, “The horror was indescribable.” In addition to observing me, he was able to see me in my undies.”
According to C5N, Nalbandian acknowledged installing the device in a voicemail to his former partner. “I want to find a way for us to get back together, and that’s what matters to me,” it stated. Would you like me to be truthful? Yes, I did it. The internet prevented me from ever being able to watch anything. I am unable to see it. You’re free to sleep with anyone if that’s your preference.
Additionally, he urged the Argentine newspaper Clarin to “look carefully before speaking” as there had already been a judge’s ruling. In response to a question concerning why the case had not been made public earlier, he said, “They want money and fame.”
Shortly after winning Wimbledon in 2002, the Argentine reached his career high of third place in the world. He has also advanced to the French, Australian, and US Open semifinals.
In 2013, Nalbandian announced his retirement from tennis due to a right shoulder surgery. Additionally, he returned to tennis as Miomir Kecmanovic, a Serbian tennis player,’s coach after competing in the World Rally Championship.
