San Lorenzo chaos: Moretti flees into police car | OneFootball

The institutional chaos at San Lorenzo, which seems to have no end, continues to add new episodes. After last Monday’s judicial notification formally allowing Marcelo Moretti to return to the presidency arrived, a week later, the top leader of the Ciclón arrived at the club headquarters to resume his position with the court ruling in his favor. Several fans greeted him with insults and, as the hours passed, more and more people gathered, and everything ended in scandal: they threw projectiles at him and he ran away to a police car.

At first, only a few Ciclón supporters who were in the area insulted him. As word of his presence spread, more and more people gathered, creating a tense situation, with several trying to get in every time the doors opened and others even kicking them violently. With a greater police presence, Moretti escaped under escort. Afterwards, the police cracked down on the crowd.

Moretti, who went on a long leave of absence after the scandal broke over a hidden camera in which he was allegedly caught receiving bribes to sign a youth player, saw his mandate in jeopardy after a series of resignations 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.

Nevertheless, the Civil Court granted the injunction he filed and ruled that “the alleged power vacuum at the club was irregular” and that the process “should be rolled back until the Board of Directors meets again legitimately and in accordance with the Statute,” as the institution itself reported on its social media. The court, just as it had done previously when it gave the green light for him to resume his duties after his 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 strongly criticized Moretti. “It was an unhappy conversation, in bad terms. I think that before taking office, Moretti should undergo a psychiatric evaluation. He is not mentally prepared. He sent me a mocking message 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’s a person who lies shamelessly,” he told Radio La Red about his last conversation with the president.
