Security Ministry Imposes Indefinite Stadium Ban on Independiente Barra Tied to August 20 Violence

The order, published in the Official Gazette, is presented as a public‑order step to keep potential instigators out of sporting events.

Overview

  • Resolution 1172/2025 applies a nationwide right‑of‑admission ban on Federico Jiménez Argüello, blocking his entry to any sports event for an indefinite period.
  • Authorities say Jiménez Argüello was identified by Tribuna Segura controls and detained on September 16 at Berazategui’s stadium after attempting to enter a match.
  • The Avellaneda‑Lanús Unit Prosecutor’s Office No. 4 had issued national and international capture orders, accusing him of aggravated serious injuries at a sporting event.
  • The resolution cites an organized tactic in which a group from the Norte stand distracted police, enabling a second line to storm the Sur Alta and attack Universidad de Chile supporters, causing injuries and mass detentions.
  • In parallel, the ministry announced additional administrative bans tied to other incidents, including one‑year restrictions for 42 fans after disturbances at a Copa Argentina match in Salta and penalties for others found with drugs.
