Shots fired and arrest: San Martín de San Juan ultras in chaos | OneFootball

The fight for power in the stands of San Martín de San Juan has added a new violent chapter. A clash between “La Banda del Pueblo Viejo” and “La Nueva Generación”, the two factions vying for control of the supporters’ group, ended with a barra member wounded by a gunshot to the leg and triggered a large police operation.

The case is in the hands of the San Juan Police and the UFI for Generic Crimes, who ordered simultaneous raids on 13 homes in Concepción. According to judicial sources, the measures were aimed at finding weapons and arresting the suspects.

The most significant result was the capture of Marcelo Gerardo González Pereyra, alias “El Puchi”, a well-known member of the “Chocolate” group and one of the leaders of the barra. Along with his arrest, investigators seized a Fiat Cronos and a Motomel enduro-type motorcycle, vehicles identified as being involved in various violent incidents in recent weeks.

In one of the homes, 215 grams of marijuana and two precision scales were also seized, prompting the intervention of the Illegal Drugs division.

According to reports, there are still six suspects on the run. Meanwhile, authorities are focusing on both factions, whose rivalry has been escalating for months and had already resulted in clashes involving fists and gunfire.
