Independent embargo and millionaire: almost 5 million dollars in TV rights

Many fans clung to their heads when the bad news of the day in Independiente seemed to be there muscle overload who suffered this Monday morning Facundo Ferreyrasomething that can marginalize him from the match against on Wednesday Defense and Justice in Florencio Varela. However, the largest bomb was detonated sometime later when the gage which fall on the audiovisual rights that the Avellaneda club of the Professional Football League must collect up to the amount of $ 4,800,000 for the ongoing process Gonzalo Veron.

The notification began last Friday and came to light this Monday. Independiente will stop receiving what corresponds to it for TV rights immediately until the final sentence of the Court of Buenos Aires for the case of the remaining debt with the striker who barely played in Red 18 games (A goal), 1,027 total minutes. In other words, it cost him about $ 4,673 a minute to challenge the hiring of Verón, a forward who arrived in 2018 alongside Silvio Romero and signed for 3 and a half years with the approval of Ariel Holanthe technician at the time.

If the ruling is in the player’s favor, that money will go into his account. If, on the other hand, what is finally right is the controlled club Hugo Moianothe seized money will be returned to you.

Why has this exorbitant figure been reached? Independiente’s original debt to Verón was $ 900,000, corresponding to compensation for his free departure from the New York Red Bulls. They issued checks to cash it in at the time, but they had no funds.

Verón went on loan to Aldosivi of Mar del Plata and a part of his salary was to be paid by the devil, something that was not satisfied. The forward, before the non-payment, notified e he was fired. From there, legal action was initiated. There have been attempts to reach agreements and even a counter-demand from the management of the Red.

Everything followed its legal tender until reaching this embargo, which in reality should have been decreed in May, but in that month the notification reached the offices of the AFA. From Viamonte 1366 they replied that since November 2017 the money for the contract for the transfer of audiovisual rights has been collected and distributed to the clubs by the extinct Superliga, now called Lega Calcio Professionisti. For this reason he had to redo the process to notify the LPF of the aforementioned embargo..

As the Independiente piles up debts and lawsuits, the atmosphere gets warmer. The court last Saturday was a pressure cooker who was blown up after a tie with Central Rosary. The fans, tired of not being listened to, took possession of the entrance to Erico’s audience, demanding that he be called to the elections. There were clashes with the police, which they repressed with gas and sticks.

The ruling party holds the key to this giant lock in its hands. Internally its members discuss what to do. Some choose not to challenge the decision of the Chamber of Lomas de Zamora allowing the list of Fabiano Doman and the order to reactivate the electoral process. But there is a hard core that resists and supports the appeal to the Court, which would leave the elections pending again.

For now, supporters have gathered again to be heard this Friday at the Special Assembly where the 2022-2023 budget will be discussed and approved. A dense climate governed by the usury of the shareholders, who ask to be able to elect the next Board of Directors.
