Car carrying Moretti hits San Lorenzo fan outside the stadium | OneFootball

A San Lorenzo fan reported that the van transporting Marcelo Moretti, the club’s president, ran him over as he was leaving the Nuevo Gasómetro after the board of directors meeting. “With all the complaints he’s got, this is the least of it,” the young man told TyC Sports.

After the meeting in the Pedro Bidegain box—which was adjourned and interrupted at noon—the vehicle (in which the president was riding as a passenger) struck a young man who was riding a bicycle near the stadium.

The fan, whose name is Lucas, reported the traffic incident to City Police officers who were at the stadium. Additionally, they took the bicycle away.

In an interview with TyC Sports, the young man recounted how it all happened. “I was standing still. I saw the red van coming out from over there. When I stepped down to the street, I saw it coming straight at me. I followed it for 200 meters, up to where the club ends. When I got there, I stood by the passenger door. Someone else was driving, wearing a white Atomik polo. I don’t know who it was, I didn’t recognize him. But Moretti was definitely the passenger,” he said.

“I started cursing at him, I knocked on the window, on the car’s side mirror. He backed up to leave because he was stopped at the traffic light. When he reversed, he turned right and ran over my bike, the front wheel, and stepped on my left foot, the tips of my toes,” he explained. And he added: “I was cursing at him and he, from the other side of the window, just gave me a thumbs up like this (Note: he raises his thumb). What a son of a b….”

Additionally, the young man confirmed that they took his information to file a report, although he doesn’t think it will affect the president. “They took my details. With all the complaints he’s got, this is the least of it. If they haven’t done anything about everything else, they’ll do even less about this.” He made his anger about the club’s situation clear: “Mainly because of the club, I couldn’t care less about the bike. That’s just material. The issue is this, they’ve been doing it for a while and they just don’t care.”

The San Lorenzo board of directors meeting, where crucial decisions about the club’s future were expected, was interrupted at noon and adjourned because nine directors—including Marcelo Moretti—were summoned to testify in court for failing to call the meeting within the required 15-day period.

When he arrived at the Prosecutor’s Office in San Telmo, the club president assured that he has no intention of stepping down. “We’re staying, we’re staying,” he simply told the press.

“Adjournment for yet another institutional embarrassment at San Lorenzo. Guys, just resign already so we can stop piling up scandals! Without a power vacuum, there will be no solution! You’re all responsible!” fired César Francis, one of the opposition leaders, on social media.

“The coward president left the stadium box without addressing the agenda, requesting an adjournment until 5 p.m. This clown tried to deliver an unacceptable monologue, which we interrupted, and he left,” said Marcelo Culotta, for his part.
