The Boca bar goes to Abu Dhabi: Rafael Di Zeo has set up a guarantee house to be able to travel with La Doce

Mouth looking for a new star It will be this Friday in the United Arab Emirates against racing. For the International Super Cup, a new tournament that will be played in the stadium Haza bin Zayed, the home of Al Ain, one hour from Abu Dhabi, near the border with Oman. The stage, inaugurated in 2014, has a capacity of 25,000 spectators. And among them will be 20 members of La Doce, with Rafael Di Zeo at the helm.

Even if it makes noise, the Boca bar will say that it is present in the final. Yes why Justice has allowed travel to all those with open lawsuits. One of them is Di Zeo himself, who had to put away a property he owned in the Villa Luro neighborhood in Buenos Aires, worth $450,000, as a guarantee to comply with the oath that was imposed on him as a condition to ensure his return to the country. .

This means, as explained by journalist Gustavo Grabia on the news site TyC Sports, that Di Zeo will lose that property, which is registered to his partner, Mirta Condello, in case he decides to flee. Something that seems unlikely.

Why did Di Zeo accept that benefit? First why there is no agreement on the right of admission between Argentina and the UAE Therefore, the ban on entering stadiums does not affect him and other managers, as happens in our country. And then we need to explain what is the legal situation of the strong man of La Doce, who shares the leadership of the stands with Mauro Martín, and currently has two open cases.

One is for aggravated cover-up -in which there are ten other bars, including Martín himself- because he presumably facilitated the escape of Maximilian Oetinger, then three in the chain of command of the tribune, wanted for extortion kidnapping. However, the case, which is played by the judge Sabrina Namer, of the Federal Oral Court n. 8, is about to be dropped because the prosecution lacks evidence to direct the prosecution. The death of a key link in the investigation during the pandemic ended up collapsing the case which will surely end in the acquittal of all defendants.

In the other case that Di Zeo has opened, he is accused of incitement an internal fight between the members of La Doce which culminated in two dead bars in the preview of the match against San Lorenzo which was played on 20 July 2013 at the Nuevo Gasómetro. There too, having fulfilled all his obligations, The leader of La Doce is about to be acquitted given that the prosecution was unable to construct evidence even against him.

It was also because of this situation that Di Zeo had to ask for permission to leave the country before Oral criminal court n. 13integrated a Enrique Gamboa, Diego Leif Guardia and Adolfo Calvete. like the prosecutor Aldo della Fonte He didn’t object, the request was left for the maids to consider.

However the request came during the judicial fair and the court consisted of other magistrates. The vote ended up being in favour: Gustavo González Ferrari, of Court 16, gave him the thumbs up, but Liliana Barrionuevo, of Court 19, and Hugo Cataldi, of Court 14, authorized it. And they imposed a sworn bail of 10 million pesos, which is about $53,000 at the official exchange rate. To cover this obligation, Di Zeo placed the property of Villa Luro, of about 370 square meters, the value of which far exceeds the condition of Justice.

Where does the money to travel come from?

Authorized by the Justice, the 20 bars will leave this Monday night for the Middle East. He will be on an Emirates flight via Brazil that will land in the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday night, according to TyC Sports. There they will stay in a hotel located in the Al Barsha area.

The million dollar question is knowing where the money comes from so that 20 bars can pay for travel and accommodation in one of the most expensive places on the planet.

In 2017, in an interview with the newspaper La Nación, Di Zeo himself explained how bars are financed in Argentina. “Of the country’s 45 million people, 20 million are from Boca. Of those, imagine a million who are businessmen and have money. With ten of those businessmen to help us, we can travel the world. It’s always It was like that. There they have a lot to do with fan clubs, tourist stuff, shirts, lotteries. This country is run by football. They always want to help you. The same thing happens with the River people. If there is no football in this country , civil war will break out. There were 80 days without football and they only talked about that mess,” he said.

And with reference to his ties to politics, Di Zeo also acknowledged his ties to power: “I worked for politics, for some leaders and they weren’t all Kirchnerists as they think. There were so many radicals and so many others who are now in the PRO”.

In recent years, in addition to the income that has multiplied from being patron of the stands, he has launched a clothing and merchandising shop for La Doce and Boca which is sold online through the La Pecera Xeneize 12 website. The account can be found at Instagram and there you can find club clothing and also clothing lines bearing the name RD, Player Number 12 and The owners of history.

The relationship with Riquelme and Boca

Throughout his career it has been an open secret that Juan Román Riquelme, unlike other idols, maintained a long-distance relationship with La Doce.

However, during the launch of his party group on December 28 on the Bombonera beach, he was surprised when he spoke of “the guys behind the door”.

“Our players are grateful for the welcome you give them every Sunday, every Wednesday. Our house is a party and this is thanks to you and to the guys behind the goal, whom I also thank for how they are behaving, for how they are doing taking care of our club”, said Román during his presentation speech of “I am Bostero”.

Those words made it clear that there has been a rapprochement since Riquelme was chosen as the club’s vice president and took over the management of professional football.

In fact, last season, flags were hung at the bar to recognize the idol and there was also applause and an ovation.
