The complaint was filed by the peddler José Gauna, sponsored by the lawyer Ivan Mochkofskyat the Brochero Public Prosecutor’s Office.

In the video image, Ledesma is seen at first in a violent attitude, although later he tries to separate the victim from another person.

Gauna gave his testimony: “We were walking with my wife and girlfriend, during the crossing Ledesma finds a river tattoo for me and starts singing me a song. I answer that this Cup is never forgotten, I thought it was a joke. They all came on top of me and started charging me.”

“I thought it was football folklore. Out of nowhere Ledesma told me ‘who tells you’. A person who was with him came, there were insults to my wife, we exchanged words and they started hitting me from all sides. They knocked me down. They slammed me against the asphalt. I was arguing with the brothers and he hit me on the head,” he added on Cordoba TV’s El Doce channel.

“I was very shocked by the blows, I saw that one took something out of his pocket, he threatened me. I don’t know if it was a gun or a knife. the girls screamed ‘dad dad’my wife was crying and I didn’t know what to do,” he said.

“They kept showing up from everywhere. My brother’s shoulder came off. We never thought a public person would do that,” she added.

“When we filed the complaint, we hoped he would come and apologise. He was with his baby and the baby was crying, she told him ‘enough dad’, and I was with my baby and she didn’t care. It looked like it came from a bowling alley. He was very violent,” she added.

Also, Gauna detailed the consequences he suffers from the beating. “I have trouble chewing, I have pain all over my body and my ankle is swollen. My wife had a blow to the head, they hit her in the chest. You don’t see everything that happened in the video,” he said.

Meanwhile Mochkofsky said: “We made the presentation to the prosecutor’s office, we are waiting for them to give us their participation to get more information on the case”.

“A complaint has been filed for all the injuries sustained by him, his wife and brother. What is important is the level of violence used by Ledesma and her brothers. It happened in broad daylight in the center of Mina Clavero. His daughters and his wife went into a state of panic,” the lawyer added.
