Independiente v Central: 200 Rojo ultras, Bebote Álvarez held | OneFootball

Pablo “Bebote” Álvarez and a group of more than 200 hooligans were detained ahead of the match between Independiente and Rosario Central, for matchday 16 of the Clausura tournament in the Professional League. Álvarez was attempting to reclaim the north stand, where the official supporters’ group usually gathers, but he was arrested before he could advance toward the stadium.

Bebote Álvarez, former leader of Independiente’s hooligan group, was intercepted by the police in the area of the seven bridges along with other members of “Los Diablos Rojos.”

Bebote and the rest of the hooligans were charged under Article 5 of the Sports Law: inciting or promoting the formation of violent groups. As a result, they will spend the night at the police station and will most likely be released on Sunday.

The detainees were also charged with “resisting authority” because there were some clashes when the Buenos Aires provincial police came to apprehend them, thus preventing an almost certain confrontation in the stadium with the official supporters’ group.

In this clash with the security forces, four of the hooligans ended up in Avellaneda hospital with rubber bullet wounds, and one will have to undergo surgery.
