Overview

  • Marcelo Moretti notified the club by email that he is ending his four‑month leave and called a Comisión Directiva meeting for Monday.
  • Thousands of supporters demonstrated at the Avenida La Plata headquarters and launched a drive to gather 5,000 signatures to push an Assembly vote on the Ethics Tribunal’s removal recommendation.
  • Moretti said he kept managing key football decisions while on leave, including confirming Damián Ayude after Miguel Ángel Russo’s exit and approving the sale of Malcom Braida to Boca.
  • He addressed the hidden‑camera video showing him receiving $25,000, calling it a setup, saying the cash was a personal donation, and noting he has loaned registered funds to the club.
  • Moretti argued there is no legal bar to his return, citing guidance he requested from AFA, while pointing to a jurisdiction dispute in the criminal case between city and national courts.
