Moretti hits back at San Lorenzo: “Assembly void, we stay in charge” | OneFootball

The internal politics at San Lorenzo have added a new chapter. After the extraordinary Assembly resolved that Sergio Costantino would remain at the head of the club until May 30, 2026, Marcelo Moretti reappeared publicly and made it clear that he does not recognize what happened. The former president asserted that the meeting will be declared null and void by the courts and reaffirmed his intention to complete the term for which he was elected.

Hours after the Assembly, Moretti spoke on Picado TV and explained that he has already filed a challenge with Civil Court No. 51, which should issue a decision in the coming hours. “We are very calm. We filed the challenge last Thursday regarding the Board of Directors meeting on Tuesday, December 16, and we are waiting for the ruling. The Assembly that took place yesterday will be declared null and void,” he stated. He went even further: “The idea is to return and serve the two years left in our term, for which we were democratically elected by the members of San Lorenzo.”

The former official fundamentally questioned the validity of the meeting that led to the declaration of a power vacuum. “I called the meeting, but I didn’t start it. Since I never started it, no topic began to be discussed. The content was produced only by a few people, with a tactically forged document, absolutely null and void,” he denounced. He also pointed out alleged inconsistencies in the minutes: “It said there were 18 people present when there were 15, and out of those 15, seven did not resign. Nine people signed it. I did nothing to leave; this is a coup d’état.”

Moretti also rejected accusations that his stance is complicating the club’s daily operations. “I’m not blocking anything. There is a statute and, if it’s not respected, you go to the IGJ or to the courts. I handle these situations with my lawyers, who are specialists,” he explained. In that regard, he recounted that during the failed Board of Directors meeting, he pointed out irregularities in real time: “I told them they were drafting minutes with anything in them. The meeting never started. How are they going to sign something if no one agreed? It’s madness.”

Finally, he made it clear that the conflict is far from over. “If the courts rule against me, I will go to the Civil Court of Appeals. Last time I appealed and they ruled in my favor. The minutes are forged,” he concluded. Meanwhile, San Lorenzo is going through days of maximum institutional uncertainty, awaiting a ruling that could once again change the club’s political landscape.
