The controversy surrounding the case of Byron Castillo continues despite FIFA has already issued its verdict against the claim of kilos. It has been some time since the resolution, in the National Professional Football Federation (ANFP), part of the Chilean Football Federation, He keeps insisting that the player was not telling the truth about his nationality and they made him a particular request.
Almost two weeks ago, on Trans-Andean soil, they grew up a lawsuit against the same player for fraud in the Colombian health system. According to several Chilean media, they filed a complaint “for possible fraud in affiliation to ADRES in the name of Byron Javier Castillo Segura”. It is that they would apparently seek the support of the resource administrator of the general social security system in Colombian health since they believe that the registration was done irregularly.
Colombian news portal El Tiempo said it had access to the complaint and highlighted: “It is based on various means of evidence indicating that Mr. Byron David Castillo Segura, a professional footballer, member of the Ecuadorian football team, would be born on November 10, 1998 in the city of Playas, province of Guayas, Ecuador, He has another name, another date of birth and, in truth, he was born in Colombia and not Ecuador and his real name is Byron Javier Castillo Segura “.
“The birth certificate issued by the Republic of Ecuador, in the name of Byron David Castillo Segura, has been the subject of several investigations for forgery within Ecuador and both the National Directorate of the Civil Registry of Ecuador and the Ecuadorian Football Federation itself. concluded that this document was false, ”adds the complaint.
New order from Chile
Now, in Chile they have made a new request to FIFA as a new claim. There are 89 days to go until the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and the ANFP is getting impatient as the days go by. After challenging the first ruling of the Swiss-based body, he is confident that the resolution will come before the World Cup.
Jorge Yungegeneral secretary of the Anfp, complained about the delay in issuing the sentence and, consequently, the impossibility of referring to the Arbitration Tribunal of Sport (TAS) before the World Cup.
“We are deeply concerned about the delays in the procedure. This is a case where the resolution has an impact on the World Cup tournament, which is due to start on November 20, and therefore we would expect quick answers and decisions, as has happened in other cases. “he said in an interview with Reuters.
“We formally appealed to FIFA on July 1 and asked the Ecuadorian federation to present some evidence that would have a great impact on resolving the case, but, to date, there have been no further responses.”Yunge said, adding: “Also we have sent new and unpublished documents on appeal, which clearly demonstrate the irregularities regarding the eligibility of Byron Castillo, and we ask you once again to be called to clarify the situation. Apparently nobody wants to talk to him, which we find surprising. “
And put pressure: “We understand the difficulties involved in issuing a resolution in our favor right now, but justice must be done at all costs. The trend of things leaves us with the feeling that – if the resolution goes against us in the Appeals Commission – our legitimate right to appeal and to have a decision of the Arbitration Court of Sport before the start of the World Cup will be eliminated. . “.
