San Lorenzo chaos: Moretti flees into police car | OneFootball

The institutional chaos at San Lorenzo, which seems endless, keeps adding new episodes. After last Monday’s arrival of the court notice that formally authorizes Marcelo Moretti’s return to the presidency, a week later the club’s top official arrived at the club headquarters to reassume his position with the court ruling in his favor. Several fans greeted him with insults and, as the hours went by, more and more people self-convened and it all ended in scandal: they threw objects at him and he ran off to a police car.

At first, only a few of the Cyclone’s supporters who were in the area insulted him. As word of his presence spread, the crowd grew and tensions rose sharply, with several trying to enter every time the doors opened and others even kicking them violently. With a greater police presence, Moretti escaped under escort. Subsequently, the police cracked down on the crowd.

Moretti, who took a long leave of absence after the scandal came to light over a hidden camera in which he allegedly received bribes to sign a youth player, saw his mandate in jeopardy after the resignations that led to a declaration of a power vacuum in mid-September, which forced the formation of a transitional government and a possible call for early elections.

In any case, the Civil Chamber granted the injunction he filed and ruled that “the club’s supposed power vacuum was irregular” and that the process “had to be rolled back until the Board of Directors meets again legitimately and in accordance with the Statute,” according to the institution itself on its social networks. The courts, as had happened some time ago when they gave the green light for him to resume his duties after the leave, also suspended the call for an Extraordinary Assembly until the Board meeting is convened by the president.

One of the people who signed the dissolution of the Executive Committee was Ulises Morales, its president, who took strong aim at Moretti. “It was an unfortunate conversation, in bad terms. I believe that before taking office, Moretti should undergo a psychiatric evaluation. He is not mentally prepared. He sent me a message mocking me because he’s coming back. Do you think the club’s situation is something to mock? It’s pathetic. I don’t think he’s well; he is a person who lies shamelessly,” he told Radio La Red about his last conversation with the president.
