Gustavo Abraham: Godano committee refused internal inquiry | OneFootball

Gustavo Abraham, candidate for president of Colón, made strong statements following the ordinary assembly in which the balance sheet and report were approved. The leader revealed that a member proposed forming an investigative committee “like the one conducted during Lerche’s administration,” and assured that his group supported the initiative. However, he denounced that “Víctor Godano’s committee did not want to move forward,” hiding behind technical issues that, according to him, “were unrelated to the matter.”

Abraham stated that the leadership relied on the fact that there is an open investigation in the MPA prosecutor's office, promoted by the Inspection of Legal Entities. But he emphasized that this is not the core issue that needs to be analyzed: “Here, what needs to be reviewed is individual responsibility. Sometimes it’s not a crime, but it is a managerial misconduct, and in Colón, there clearly is one.”

Misconducts and cases that, according to Abraham, harmed the club

The candidate went further and pointed out previous situations that, in his view, justify a thorough internal review. He mentioned episodes related to Kelme and the Farías case, which he defined as precedents that “have harmed Colón and require explanation.”

For Abraham, the rejection by the board of the investigative committee prevents clarifying whether there were incorrect, negligent, or contrary decisions to the institutional interest, even if they do not constitute criminal offenses.

The political stance and the role of the member

The candidate explained that, unlike other occasions, in this assembly he chose not to speak publicly: “I didn’t speak to avoid mixing political interests with what one feels as a member. I didn’t want anything to be misinterpreted.”

Even so, he expressed willingness to collaborate with any project that wins the elections: “I will be willing to work with any list; hopefully, we get to lead.”

Approved balance and lingering doubts

Regarding the presented balance, Abraham stated that “it reflects the club’s situation in June, which is not the reality today,” and again questioned the delay in its presentation. For him, the central issue is the explanations about the origin of the accumulated debt: “Some were made and others were not. I don’t know why they didn’t delve deeper, it would even help them to defend themselves,” he remarked.

The image of Godano and the prominence of other leaders

Regarding the behavior of the current management’s leaders, Abraham described President Víctor Godano as “dejected” and “unwell,” noting that he spoke little and delegated almost the entire presentation to the general secretary, Adrián Paseggi, and the treasurer, Adrián Temporelli.
