, is known in the club for a long time, but remained a reference in the gallery in 2008 and is since September 2016 in the list of entry fees for the Safe Tribune program, after being treated by a fraudulent administration because of the resale of tickets in 2012, during the mandate of the

Daniel Pbadarella

. His nickname was won by the rudimentary of his decisions.

Now, his name reappears in the middle of the versions claiming that the attack against the players

Stuffy

This could have been a revenge for the bar: they lost the company of the year and on Saturday they were no longer in the Sívori Alta tribune. Because, although he can not go to court, Godoy continues to move the strings with Martin "de Ramos" Araujo, treated for the same reason and with the right of admission. During matches, control is provided by Cristian Szyrko, aka Ciruja, but Caverna is visible outside River.

The president of the river,

Rodolfo D'Onofrio

, goes through one of the most critical moments of his administration. The double postponement of the end of the

Libertadores Cup

against Boca for aggression against the rival bus keeps the club in suspense. And the same goes for the judicial inquiry into the illegal resale of banknotes, whose central protagonist is Cavern Godoy. Dr. Onofrio and his board say they do not know him.

"Godoy is always on the move with the tickets: with those of protocol, with those of partners already deceased and pbading people trying to lock windlbades," said a judicial detective who investigated him for several causes. Now follows the prosecutor Norberto Brotto, who has been prosecuting since April 5 the case for the illegal resale of tickets after detecting offers on the Mercado Libre website. Yesterday, he made a descent into the stadium.

Caverna has been popular for over twenty years: he began his journey in the late 90s, he joined the group Los Patovicas – or La Banda del Yogur -, Adrián Rousseau and brothers Alan and William Schlenker, an alliance who he was at the bar in 2002 and was even employed by the club under the leadership of José María Aguilar, a former president of the controversial institution.

But on February 11, 2007, everything revolved around the "battle of the quinchos", in preview of the match against Lanús, in Núñez. A confrontation with knives and fire blew internally between the group of Rousseau and the Schlenker, who were left in power. And two other facts changed the course: the "battle of the beach", in May, after a meeting with Independiente, during which members of the ruling faction were attacked by the Rousseau gang. The other episode was the murder of Gonzalo Acro in August, for which Rousseau and Schlenker have been sentenced to life imprisonment since 2011.

From that moment, Rousseau obtained the power, but, not being able to enter the stadiums, the tribune was placed under the control of Godoy and Araujo, its slopes.

Both were increasing their power in the Aguilar and Pbadarella cycles, facing the current splinter group La Banda del Oeste. But in 2014, first year of the management of D & # 39; Onofrio, the problems began: in April, they were arrested in connection with an operation before a duel with Lanús, in the Monumental, with 200 cards membership, resale tickets, pepper essence, Facas, 12 cell phones and more than 7,000 pesos.

Although they were released as a result of an indictable offense, Godoy was stabbed in the club's confectionery during an attack by dissident bar members, looking for tickets for them. semi-finals of the Copa Sudamericana con Boca. He was admitted and returned to the rostrum, but without much time.

From the investigation into the death of the young Gonzalo Saucedo in the Sívori Alta tribune during a match against Boca Unidos in 2012, the wiretaps led to another cause: the resale of tickets for the first time. exchange under the Pbadarella administration. And in September 2016, he was tried by Judge Fernando Caunedo, as well as by the former president and 18 other people.

Today, Caverna is not in detention because the situation of resale tickets is a violation which, according to the prosecutor, said yesterday that Brotto prosecutor was "potentially a crime". But his name is on everyone's lips again, River.
