Justice sides with Moretti, San Lorenzo face risk of being left leaderless | OneFootball

The 51st Civil Court determined that there are no reasons preventing the businessman from resuming his duties. Thus, after the classic match, the necessary resignations could be confirmed for calling elections if the president insists on returning to the Ciclón.

One day before the new edition of the classic match against Huracán, San Lorenzo remains institutionally shaken. This is because, in the late hours of Thursday, the Judiciary ruled on the declarative action of certainty requested by Marcelo Moretti and, although it dismissed the appeal, it did so on the grounds that there are no reasons or uncertainties preventing the businessman from being president of the Ciclón.

As a result, the institutional chaos grows, with a Board of Directors at odds with its president and the possibility of a looming leadership vacuum next week, with many resignations contingent on his continuity at the club.

Specifically, the 51st Civil Court ruled on the appeal filed by Moretti, in which the businessman asked the Judiciary to clarify the uncertainty about whether he could be president of the club, in the context of his leave and the investigation for fraudulent administration against him. The response he received was the rejection of his appeal, but on the grounds that there is no such uncertainty.

"It is clear that the merely declarative action promoted by the plaintiff is inadmissible. This is because, from his own statements, it emerges that there is no administrative or judicial act or decision preventing him from serving as president of the defendant sports entity," the ruling states. In fact, they point out that the leave was taken by Moretti's own decision, in the same way he communicated his cessation.

Regardless of what happens at the institutional level, it remains to be seen how the Nuevo Gasómetro will react on Saturday when the Ciclón faces Huracán in the Torneo Clausura. The rejection of Moretti has been total so far, with chants from the stands and constant calls for elections. Fans have even marched against the club's president. Thus, a heated atmosphere is expected from the stands for a duel that is already more than just a match.
