Chilean singer Américo sentenced for domestic violence

Chilean singer Américo has been sentenced following a domestic violence complaint filed by Yamila Reyna. The San Javier Guarantee Court issued a sentence of 100 days of daytime partial house arrest and a fine equivalent to 11 monthly tax units (UTM).

As part of the judicial resolution, Américo admitted responsibility for the events occurring on February 8, 2026, and issued public apologies to his former partner. The court imposed several conditions, including the use of an electronic monitoring ankle bracelet and a requirement to remain at his residence for eight continuous hours daily. He is also prohibited from approaching or communicating with Reyna for six months.

Additionally, the singer must participate in a two-year impulse control therapeutic program, with the assigned clinic required to report on his compliance. Regarding professional obligations, requests have been made to allow Américo to perform in Peru and Bolivia. To facilitate this, he must provide a five million peso guarantee, which will be returned upon his return to Chile.
