Prosecutor Dismisses Threats Case, Clears Gimnasia de Jujuy in Halted Playoff Dispute

The prosecutor archived the threats case for lack of evidence, stating the referees' security was guaranteed.

Overview

  • Fiscal Diego Funes desisted the complaint by referee Lucas Comesaña and archived the case, finding no punishable threat or illicit act.
  • The determination contradicts Comesaña’s account that ex-club secretary Leandro Meyer warned the officiating team during halftime.
  • The fiscal file records a separate complaint against fourth official Gustavo Benítez for an alleged discriminatory slur by a ball boy’s mother.
  • Sporting outcomes are unchanged: the first leg was awarded 3–0 to Deportivo Madryn after the suspension, and Madryn won the return 1–0 to advance.
  • Local reporting indicates Gimnasia is absolved of criminal responsibility and Deportivo Madryn remains eligible to contest the promotion final.
