All Hospitalized Fans Discharged After IndependienteUniversidad de Chile Clashes

Prosecutors are weighing attempted homicide charges, with a CONMEBOL disciplinary hearing next week.

Overview

  • Buenos Aires provincial health authorities said there are no remaining inpatients after more than 20 people were treated, including two Chilean supporters who underwent emergency neurosurgery and now continue recovery outside hospital.
  • Patients were cared for at the Fiorito, Presidente Perón and Eduardo Wilde hospitals, with officials crediting the networked public system for a rapid response that they say saved lives.
  • Prosecutor Mariano Zitto reported some cases are designated as attempted homicide and pointed to prevention failures as investigators analyze extensive video evidence and carry out multiple raids.
  • Independiente submitted a formal defense to CONMEBOL arguing visiting fans initiated the violence, and a disciplinary hearing with club officials is set for Tuesday.
  • Mendoza transport firms report threats circulating in viral audio and have reduced trips to Chile, though that portrayal of risk is disputed by Chile’s tourism federation.
