Incidentes, barbarie y torturas en Avellaneda tras Independiente-Universidad de Chile

Overview

  • Argentina’s UFIJ Nº4 ordered the release of 104 Universidad de Chile supporters detained after the clashes, a move confirmed by Chilean President Gabriel Boric.
  • The Buenos Aires Province security minister said the Libertadores de América is closed for forensic work, so Independiente cannot host Platense there this weekend.
  • Conmebol canceled the Copa Sudamericana match for lack of guarantees and began a disciplinary dossier that could lead to sporting sanctions after review.
  • Dozens were injured and roughly a hundred people were detained during the violence in the visitante tribuna, with reports of at least two Chilean fans requiring neurosurgery.
  • Authorities in Argentina and Chile are coordinating as investigations proceed, while Independiente prepares its legal strategy and disputes responsibility and the exact sequence of the suspension.
