The story that began on Tuesday evening with a controversial arbitration by Jorge Baliño in the scandalous Barracas Central 2 – Patronato 1 is not over. It continued at dawn on Wednesday, with the arrest of a group of players and a member of the technical staff who spent the night in police cell phones so as not to share cell phones with criminals, and continued in the 35th Prosecutor’s Office. there are still chapters ahead.
Patronato’s odyssey does not end and while the investigation started on Tuesday evening lasts, the people involved have to report to the judicial unit once a month.
In principle, before the end of August, the footballers axel rodriguez, only Giani, Mattia Marrone Y Giovanni Barinaga, with the goalkeepers coach Damian Gonzalezthey must appear in court where on Wednesday morning they refused to answer the questions put to them by the prosecutor Celsa Ramirez.
The five members of the Board of Trustees are involved in injuries to police personnel and accused of assault and resistance to authority. They arrived aboard a transfer unit. Previously they had spent the night in a patrol car to avoid sharing space with other inmates housed in the office of the mayor of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, or in the 10th police station in Floresta.

Prosecutor Ramírez asked them why the injuries of a commissioner, three officials and referee Jorge Baliño. On the advice of the lawyer prepared by the AFA, they made no statements. The president of the Entre Ríos club, Oscar Lenzi, moderated the criticism after the appearance of Marcelo Achille, vice president of the association and with his own weight in the framework of its executive committee.
The report delivered by city police he reported injuries to the left eye area of officer Yanina Castro, a diagnosis of polytrauma for commissioner Nahuel Hidalgo and blows to the left leg of officer Julián Almonacid, all three manned by medical personnel. Furthermore, she reports that Marine Officer Acosta did not need medical attention for her evaluation.
The same document indicates that Baliño “has bruises on his legs, not wishing to be assisted by medical personnel”, so much so that the referee could be called by the prosecutor to find out the origin of the injuries and if he recognizes his attackers. Police arrested the players and the coach as responsible for all injuries.
“They put a hand in our pockets,” said the president of the board of trustees, Oscar Lenzi. Photo: Luciano Thieberger.
This is where the goalkeeping coach’s situation gets complicated, since he was also identified by the referee. González’s name also appears in the report that Baliño prepared to present to the Argentine Football Association (AFA). The disciplinary court will act on this act and on the release of the persons involved.
That is why it is expected that, at the time of its issue, it will not sanction the players or the coach Facundo Sava, who, as can be seen in the television images – repeated with the same precision as the VAR -, spurs Baliño with his body, not The match ends well and before the players argued with the police.
“Nobody hit me. There was a situation of Sava that, on the run when he arrives, upsets me. Yes, a person, who I believe was identified by the police, who kicked me from behind, “Baliño said in statements on the TyC Sports cable signal. That person is González, the goalkeeper coach. In his words. , unveiled the contents of the report, it will not concern the players.
The Court has a feature: it does not take into account television images to draw conclusions. He decides solely on what the main referee writes in his report, so that Sava would only lose Nicolás Castro, who was expelled before the rampage. At least through AFA.
Where could I lose them? The situation of the players is serious at the judicial level: they have not been detained because none of them had a precedent. They will not be forbidden to participate, because it violates their labor law, but the Justice investigates them for injuries to the aforementioned policemen.

For this, in the next few days, the four players and the goalkeeper coach will receive the summons to appear before Ramírez in the penultimate week of August and the Foundation Council will have to pay attention to the date: it could be August 23, when the team has planned to receive Argentinos Juniors by 15.
The situation is so delicate that a delegation of Argentine footballers, led by Darío Cecchia, his deputy general secretary, went to the prosecutor’s office and transferred the contingent to the Aeroparque. The guild led by Sergio Marchi was afraid of spending another day in Buenos Aires.
The campus is already in Paraná and on Sunday it receives Boca. But the Patronato odyssey has just begun.
