Overview

  • Judge José Luis Arabito accepted a request from Avellaneda’s Fiscalía N°4 to suspend the Libertadores de América for events with public, allowing Independiente to host Platense on Sunday only behind closed doors or at an alternate venue.
  • Independiente said it will appeal the measure, which follows investigations into clashes that left roughly twenty injured and more than one hundred detained and damaged multiple areas of the stadium.
  • Buenos Aires security minister Javier Alonso said peritajes are underway, including tests on bloodstains in the stands, and that identified ultras will be charged.
  • CONMEBOL’s disciplinary body is still reviewing evidence for potential sanctions on the clubs, with decisions expected later rather than immediately.
  • APreViDe confirmed no visiting supporters for Aldosivi vs. Boca at the José María Minella, and separate reporting detailed that Independiente’s failed operation cost about ARS 154.7 million, including police, private security and Utedyc personnel.
