Independiente v Central: 200 Rojo ultras, Bebote Álvarez arrested | OneFootball

Pablo Bebote Álvarez and a group of more than 200 hooligans were arrested before the match between Independiente and Rosario Central, for the 16th round of the Clausura tournament of the Professional League. Álvarez was attempting to reclaim the north stand, where the official hooligan group usually operates, but he was detained before he could advance towards the stadium.

Bebote Álvarez, former leader of Independiente's hooligan group, was intercepted by the police in the area of the seven bridges along with other members of "Los Diablos Rojos."

Bebote and the rest of the hooligans were charged under article 5 of the sports law: inciting or promoting the formation of violent groups. As a result, they will spend the night at the police station and will most likely be released on Sunday.

The detainees were also charged with "resisting authority" due to some confrontations when the Buenos Aires provincial police went to apprehend them, thus preventing an almost certain clash at the stadium with the official hooligan group.

In this confrontation with the security forces, four of the hooligans ended up in Avellaneda hospital due to rubber bullet wounds, and one will need to undergo surgery.
