Zambrano is third to quit Alianza Lima over Montevideo case | OneFootball

The Carlos Zambrano era at Alianza Lima has come to an abrupt end. After weeks of uncertainty, the Peruvian defender and the club reached an agreement for the definitive termination of his contract. The decision was hastened by the serious allegation of alleged sexual abuse with carnal access against the former Boca Juniors player, who had already been separated from the professional squad as soon as the events became public.

With his departure, Zambrano follows in the footsteps of his compatriots Miguel Trauco and Sergio Peña, who were also released from the Peruvian club due to their alleged involvement in the same incident. The three footballers were accused by a 22-year-old Argentine woman, who reported to the authorities that she had been the victim of sexual assault by the group during the preseason the team held in Montevideo, Uruguay, in mid-January 2026.

Chronology of Events and Judicial Investigation

According to the complainant’s testimony, the incident occurred on January 18 in a room at a Uruguayan hotel, a place she attended with a friend at Zambrano’s direct invitation. After the episode, the young woman returned to Argentina and sought medical assistance in San Isidro, then formally filed a criminal complaint on January 21 at Muñiz Hospital in Buenos Aires. The case, which is being processed in National Criminal and Correctional Court No. 14, already includes medical examinations and the seizure of clothing provided as biological evidence.

Given the seriousness of the case, the Argentine justice system ordered protective measures for the victim, including the provision of a panic button and the intervention of specialized assistance programs. For its part, Alianza Lima closed the chapter with a strict statement, emphasizing that the dismissals are in accordance with the application of its internal disciplinary regulations, leaving the resolution of the conflict strictly in the judicial sphere while the players face charges of abuse with carnal access.
