The current president of San Lorenzo, Marcelo Moretti, was summoned, along with eight other club leaders, to the Public Prosecutor's Office of the Federal Capital. According to the Argentine News Agency (NA), the summons was "to inform them of the facts with which they are charged and the evidence obtained against them", due to the fact that they did not hold a board of directors meeting that the Justice had requested on October 9 of this year. In addition to the current president of "Ciclón", Vice-Presidents Julio César Lopardo and Andrés Terzano, Secretary Martín Cigna, Pro-Secretary Alejandro Barros, Treasurer Leandro Goroyesky and Pro-Treasurer Carina Farias, Secretary of Minutes Alejandro Tamer and Intendant Juan Sagardoy were also summoned. The summons was set for next Tuesday, December 16, at 1:00 PM. With a case in progress, in which he is being investigated for the alleged receipt of a bribe of 25 thousand dollars to guarantee the starting position of a youth player in the club's lower divisions, nine San Lorenzo leaders have been summoned to appear before the Public Prosecutor's Office. In a file opened in October, titled "Precautionary Measures", the Justice determined that the San Lorenzo leadership had to hold an extraordinary meeting, with Marcelo Moretti at the helm, within the following two weeks, to deal with "pending issues that pertain to the institutional life of the club. Additionally, the prosecution believes that the aforementioned leaders "have harmed the interests of the club due to breaches of contract by the first-team players, the lack of contract renewals for youth players, and the covering up of 'possible misappropriation of funds and economic commitments assumed without documentary support', as well as the fact of not having presented the economic balances for the years 2023 and 2024." "All this denotes an intentional maneuver aimed at preventing the oversight of economic and administrative management, hiding onerous operations and placing the social heritage at risk," concludes the decree of First Instance Prosecutor Celsa Ramirez. The complaint was filed by lawyer Daniel Stasevich, who has influenced the politics of San Lorenzo for some years, although he has not held any positions in the club.
