Prosecutor points to River's leaders and investigates "double ticketing" – 11/27/2018

Prosecutor Norberto Alejandro Brotto, who is conducting the investigation for the alleged resale of tickets for the River meetings, directed directly against the management of the Núñez club for the delivery of tickets for the final of the Copa Libertadores against Boca that Friday were found in the bar Héctor Guillermo's house Cave Godoy

The prosecutor stated that "clearly" there are indications that the 300 tickets kidnapped during the search in Godoy's house were delivered by club leaders. "I proved that there were 300 banknotes in the hands of a person who had the right to be admitted, so I could not have one," he said. he declared in statements made to Radio La Red.

Brotto considered to be proven the existence of a "parallel system of ticket printing". "There is a way to issue banknotes that are out of legal sale, they are not difficult, they are true, but they are not in the legal sales channel of River. I found a lot of tickets that clearly come to resale", He stressed.

During Monday's raid at the River Stadium, 320 blank entries were diverted, 271 entries with membership data, cell phones, documentation, forms, USB keys, 34 tickets valid for Sunday, a DVD containing information and a notebook.

The prosecutor also confirmed that the notes seized at Godoy's home (seven million pesos were also seized, presumably from the resale of banknotes) were original. "I test them to check if the 300 people (whose names) have these tickets had asked for them," he said.

Until now, the searches made by Brotto are due to the resale of tickets, which constitutes an offense and, therefore, that can not lead to arrests. Anyway, the head of justice estimated that raids carried out during the last hours (in the house of Godoy, in that of the bar Jose Bag of potatoes Uequín and in the Monumental) "may possibly be the figure of the promotion of the bar."

In that case, it would no longer be an offense, but a crime under section 5 of the Penal Code in respect of criminal offenses and contraventions for sports shows.which provides for a sentence of one to six years for anyone who "incites, promotes or facilitates in any manner whatsoever the formation of groups intended to commit" any of the crimes referred to in said law.

Whatever the case may be, Brotto considered that there are still no elements to request Godoy's arrest. "We have to work with the law in hand and we have to take the time to define why it should be done with evidence," he said, adding that there was no evidence to suspect than Cave it could be offered.

The head of the Criminal, Penal and Criminal Prosecution Office No. 2 also explained that was the reason for the badysis of the possible link between this investigation he led and the incidents occurred Saturday in the suburbs of Monumental. This is the badumption that the national government as well as the city of Buenos Aires strive to defend.

Godoy, through a WhatsApp audio file aired Monday on the A24 news channel, is dissociated from what happened Saturday. "I am absolutely unaware of any involvement that could be charged to me.I am sending this audio to clarify my situation and deny the audios that syndicate me as the episode writer. unfortunate happened before the River-Boca, "said the bar.
