Antonio Palacios-Fernandes beat and strangled a female employee after a wage dispute

In Moscow, co-owner of the atelier “Masterskaya Klassicheskogo Kostyuma,” Antonio Palasios-Fernandes, brutally beat employee Yuliya Zelenskaya.

The victim reported this on her Facebook page.

The girl says that about a month ago she got a job at the atelier as PR director. After some time, the employer called her in and informed her that she was fired. Yuliya asked for her final payment, to which Palasios-Fernandes replied that allegedly no money was allocated for her. As a “compromise,” he offered to pay her a minimal salary of just over 17 thousand rubles. Yuliya refused, which triggered a fit of rage from the employer.

“He started hitting me in the face, ribs… He dragged me to the marble staircase and beat me in the corner. Then he knocked me down and began choking me,” Zelenskaya wrote on social media.

“Then the mess started again. He threw me off the marble staircase, I blacked out and came to when he started dragging me to the exit. Then there was a burst of aggression from my side, but it did little to help — he continued beating me and then threw me out into the street without my belongings and outerwear,” the girl said.

Already outside, she called the police. The co-owner of the atelier was taken to the station.

Later it turned out that Yuliya was not the first victim of the workshop owners. Earlier, some female employees were also beaten, while others were threatened with violence.
