A criminal investigation has been opened against Argentine footballer Mauro Icardi for alleged injury and domestic violence, according to a report by Haberturk based on Argentine media. The probe follows a reported incident on November 6, 2026, involving Icardi, his ex-wife Wanda Nara, and their two daughters.

According to the report, Icardi’s 11-year-old daughter, Francesca, allegedly locked herself in her room after Icardi scolded her. The girl sent a message to her mother via WhatsApp, stating she was alone and frightened because her father had hit her. Francesca later left her father’s home on her own and went to her mother’s side. The couple’s other daughter, 10-year-old Isabella, also reportedly left the house to stay with Nara.

When police and medical teams were sent to Icardi’s residence following a call, Icardi refused to leave the house or speak to officers. In a statement reported by the publication, Icardi told a police officer, “There is a court order; she is with me and it is my responsibility.”

The Tigre Gender-Based Violence Prosecutor’s Office has ordered the investigation to proceed under charges of injury and domestic violence. The prosecutor decided to take Nara’s statement, have the young girl undergo a forensic medical examination, and notify Icardi of the situation. Social emergency response teams were also dispatched to the scene.

Following the incident, Nara visited a hospital for a forensic examination, which is a procedural step and not for medical treatment. The incident was discussed on the television program “LAM.” Both parties have not made a formal public statement about the events as of the publication of the report.
