Leandro Díaz in punch-up with fan after Racing defeat in Tucumán | OneFootball

The forward of Atlético Tucumán, Leandro Díaz, was involved in a serious episode of violence following his team's defeat against Racing. The player allegedly intercepted a club member whom he recognized for having insulted him in a previous match against Estudiantes de Río Cuarto.

According to reports, the "Loco" confronted and hit the fan near the Monumental Stadium. In the midst of the brawl, the member's brother intervened to try to calm the situation, but ended up being assaulted by the attacker, resulting in facial injuries.

Details of the police report and injuries

The report was filed at the 5th Police Station this Tuesday at 11:30 PM. The police record states that the complainant witnessed how the Díaz brothers attacked Franco Santillán. When attempting to intervene, Juan Carlos Santillán received an extremely aggressive response from the player. The affected person suffered a cut on one of his ears due to the blows. Additionally, the report details that the forward made direct threats, prompting a formal request for a restraining order to protect the integrity of the assaulted family.

Intervention of the Ethics Tribunal and possible sanctions

Weeks ago, President Mario Leito had publicly supported Díaz following the incidents against the Córdoba team. At that time, the official warned that the Ethics Tribunal would act against fans who insulted players to prevent such hostile environments.

However, given the seriousness of this new incident, it will be Atlético's Department of Ethics and Discipline that must determine the punishment for the player. The club has stated that the sanction could be exemplary once all evidence and testimonies of the case are gathered.
