Overview

• The Cámara Civil declared the club’s leadership vacancy irregular, suspended an Extraordinary Assembly and restored the board’s legitimacy under Marcelo Moretti.
• Carrying the ruling, Moretti went to the club’s Buenos Aires headquarters to reassume the presidency and his presence drew an increasingly hostile crowd.
• Supporters tried to enter the building, kicked doors and hurled projectiles at the site and at Moretti.
• Moretti fled on foot to a police patrol car as officers escorted him away, and police later intervened against demonstrators.
• Moretti had been on extended leave after a hidden-camera report alleged he took bribes to sign a youth player, fueling fan outrage over his return.
