Overview
- The AFA Disciplinary Tribunal’s Boletín 6807, issued on December 23, declared Fassi’s 24‑month suspension fulfilled and restored his institutional rights.
- The ruling cited his September 2025 public apology to AFA president Claudio Tapia, the time elapsed since the incident, and proportionality principles in the Code.
- The original sanction arose from a post‑match confrontation with referee Andrés Merlos after Talleres vs. Boca in the Copa Argentina and from a subsequent IGJ filing that bypassed internal AFA remedies.
- The decision extends the same outcome to Talleres vice president Gustavo Gatti, who had been included in the earlier disciplinary measure.
- Competing accounts of the 2024 episode persist—Merlos reported a threatening display of a firearm while Fassi alleged he was struck—though the disciplinary case has been administratively closed.
