San Lorenzo President Moretti Declines to Testify in Fraud Case After Court Appearance

Overview

• He attended an indagatoria before Judge Laura Bruniard at National Criminal Court No. 27, stated he is innocent and exercised his right to remain silent.
• His lawyer, Gastón Marano, argued that he will only provide testimony once the long-running jurisdiction dispute between national and CABA courts is resolved.
• After prior delays, appellate decisions have allowed the national case to proceed, and the judge will define whether he is processed within ten days, according to court sources.
• The probe stems from a video showing him handling a bundle of dollars and is supported by accounting materials cited in reporting, while opposition figures César Francis and Christian Mera filed the complaint.
• The club’s institutional paralysis persists as players denounce unpaid wages and poor conditions, and the AFA recently covered salaries to forestall departures, including that of Alexis Cuello.
