The Colón campus trained this Thursday with police custody due to the presence of barrabravas in practice on Tuesday, which led to the suspension of the work of the day before. Faced with this situation, President José Vignatti asked to “get rid of hypocrisy” regarding the actions of violent fans in soccer.
While the players returned to practice at the 4 de Junio venue under the orders of coach Adrián Marini, President Vignatti met with the province’s Minister of Security, Rubén Rimoldi, to seek a solution to the violence in football.
“Here we must get rid of hypocrisy. Everyone who surrounds football knows how we (the leaders) are there at the limit and we want to respect and respect all the instructions given to us by the authorities,” said Vignatti when asked about an alleged leadership collusion with the bars.
In statements made at the exit of the headquarters of the Ministry of Security, the holder “sabalero” added that the situation is very difficult to control. “We are not Robin Hood or anything like that, we are simply directors who are going to work ad honorem for the club and try (to achieve) sporting success,” explained the leader.
Vignatti maintained that “in the field that is being handled today we are alien” in relation to violence, and said that the leaders try to “collaborate with the Justice and with the police.” In relation to the tightening of the bars against the players, the president of Santa Fe stressed that “the Prosecutor’s Office is acting” and that the members of the board of directors must be “very reserved so that the authorities do what they have to do.”
The leader said that he was going to attend the squad’s practice, endorsed the players’ decision not to train on Wednesday and assured that the match against Argentinos Juniors, scheduled for Monday, is not at risk, only that the security The provincial government requested that the time of the game be brought forward from 9:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. “In a situation like this they have felt shocked and we respect the decision of the players, but I don’t think the game is in danger,” explained the leader.
Meanwhile, the police operation will have 470 police officers and Colón was asked that local players arrive and leave the stadium in a bus and not in their private vehicles to facilitate their custody.
The legal case is being carried out by the prosecutor Laura Urquiza, from the Complex Crimes Unit of the Public Ministry of the Accusation (MPA), who ordered a search of the premises on June 4 in order to seize the security cameras to try to identify violent fans.
