Peruvian businessman Luiggi Yarasca has denied allegations of physical abuse made by his former partner Flor Polo Campos, claiming he has evidence to disprove her.
Speaking on the morning programme America Hoy, hosted by Janet Barboza, Yarasca rejected accusations of domestic violence following the end of their four-year relationship. He insisted that he possesses recordings and witness statements that will completely destroy the case against him.
Yarasca explained that his primary defence is an audio recording made after a domestic dispute. He stated that the recording captures Polo Campos saying that she fell down the stairs, which directly contradicts her official police statement claiming that he pushed her.
The businessman told the programme that Polo Campos told him she slipped after he had already walked away from the scene. He argued that the discrepancy between the recording and her formal complaint will expose her accusations as false.
Conflicting accounts of stair fall
The dispute became public after Polo Campos appeared on television to describe severe physical harm. During an emotional broadcast, she broke down in tears, alleging that Yarasca had pushed her down the stairs and stating that it was a miracle she had survived.
In her formal testimony to police, the television personality also accused Yarasca of prolonged emotional abuse during their four years together. She told officers that he consistently insulted her intelligence, routinely using derogatory words to demean her.
Polo Campos first brought the matter into public view on the evening entertainment show Magaly TV, la firme. She shared private chat messages in which she confronted Yarasca over alleged physical injuries and psychological mistreatment.
Witnesses and breakup disputes
Yarasca countered that he has gathered multiple eyewitnesses who can support his version of events. He claimed to have statements from a residential security guard, friends from the gym where he trains, and members of his own family.
According to Yarasca, his relatives can confirm that Polo Campos repeatedly contacted them to act as intermediaries. He claimed that she refused to accept breakups, visiting his gym, waiting outside his residence for hours, and using third parties to orchestrate reconciliations.
He maintained that her persistent attempts to resume the relationship contradict her portrayal of him as an aggressor. He stated that his relatives and acquaintances will present their testimony to demonstrate the true nature of their interactions.
Studio clash and family reactions
The allegations have prompted fierce confrontations across Peruvian broadcast media. During a live phone interview on Magaly TV, la firme, host Magaly Medina angrily cut off Yarasca following a tense exchange, telling him directly not to threaten her on her own programme.
The scandal also drew a tearful response from Polo Campos's mother, Susy Diaz, who is known throughout Peru as the queen of diets. Diaz, who had been travelling overseas when the allegations emerged, wept upon returning to Lima and said she needed to see her daughter immediately.
Entertainment figures and legal proceedings
Polo Campos has lived in the public eye since childhood as the daughter of Diaz and the late Peruvian composer Augusto Polo Campos. Over the years, she has worked as a model, television host, and businesswoman, frequently appearing in local celebrity news.
Her mother, Susy Diaz, remains one of the most recognizable figures in Peruvian showbusiness, having risen to fame as a comedic performer before serving as a member of the Congress of the Republic of Peru in the late 1990s.
Yarasca maintains that he will submit his audio recordings and witness statements to legal authorities to dismiss the allegations. Meanwhile, Peruvian police and prosecutors are examining the formal complaint filed by Polo Campos to determine whether criminal charges will proceed.
