Court Upholds San Lorenzo’s Transitional Board, Blocks Moretti’s Return

The ruling leaves the transition in place as Marcelo Moretti readies an appeal to the Civil Chamber.

Overview

  • Civil Court No. 51 rejected Marcelo Moretti’s precautionary request, kept the recent board resignations in force, and maintained the club’s transitional leadership.
  • The decision is a fresh legal setback for Moretti after a favorable injunction in September briefly restored him to the presidency.
  • Moretti said he will appeal the first-instance ruling to the Civil Chamber in an effort to overturn it.
  • The Buenos Aires High Court (TSJ) unanimously ordered a separate defraudation-by-administration case linked to the club to continue in the city courts.
  • San Lorenzo scheduled internal elections for May 30, 2026, as Moretti publicly decries his ouster as a ‘golpe de Estado’ and accuses interim president Sergio Costantino of orchestrating a campaign against him.
