Zambrano is third to quit Alianza Lima over Montevideo case | OneFootball

The cycle of Carlos Zambrano at Alianza Lima came to an abrupt end. After weeks of uncertainty, the Peruvian defender and the club reached an agreement for the definitive termination of his contract. The decision was precipitated by the serious allegation of alleged sexual abuse with carnal access against the former Boca Juniors player, who had already been removed from the professional squad as soon as the events became public.

With this departure, Zambrano follows in the footsteps of his compatriots Miguel Trauco and Sergio Peña, who were also dismissed from the Peruvian club due to their alleged involvement in the same incident. The three footballers were accused by a 22-year-old Argentine woman, who reported to the authorities that she was a victim of sexual assault by the group during the preseason that the team held in Montevideo, Uruguay, in mid-January 2026.

Chronology of the events and the judicial investigation

According to the complainant's testimony, the incident occurred on January 18 in a room of a Uruguayan hotel, where she attended with a friend by direct invitation from Zambrano. After the episode, the young woman returned to Argentina and sought medical assistance in San Isidro, then formally filed the criminal complaint on January 21 at the Muñiz Hospital in Buenos Aires. The case, which is being processed in the National Criminal and Correctional Court No. 14, already includes medical examinations and the seizure of clothing provided as biological evidence.

Given the seriousness of the case, the Argentine justice system ordered protective measures for the victim, including the provision of a panic button and the intervention of specialized assistance programs. For its part, Alianza Lima closed the chapter with a strict statement, emphasizing that the dismissals are in response to the application of its internal disciplinary regulations, leaving the resolution of the conflict strictly in the judicial sphere while the players face charges of abuse with carnal access.
