In the run-up to the meeting between Deportivo Cali and Boca Juniors for the Copa Libertadores, a macabre episode, including kidnapping and torture, would have occurred after the Colombian barristas confronted a faction of Racing Club fans, after stealing a flag in the stadium of ‘The Academy’.
This Tuesday, the scandal arose in Argentina after the accusations of the sports journalist Pablo Carrozzanoting that a faction of the Racing Club fan kidnapped and tortured Deportivo Cali fansafter Colombian fans stole a flag from ‘La Academia’.
A macabre story that the trans-Andean communicator began to tell on May 19, the day the robbery would have happened at the Presidente Perón Stadium in Avellaneda, detailing that the Cali barristas “They entered the Racing field when no one was there, they stole a flag and published it on the networks”.
“There are death threats from the leaders of the fans of La Academia ahead of the match with Boca: ‘They messed with the mafia, we killed them all’”Carrozza added, citing an audio of the leader of the group ‘Los Pibes de Racing’, which was leaked by the journalist Leandro Adonio Belli on his Twitter account.
The official Racing bar hung the flags early, and in an oversight two men and a woman would have entered, to take the rag inside a bag. They assure that they entered through Gate 3. I leave you in my instagram stories the video of the Cali bars.

A threat that would have had a response through another audio, this time, from the Deportivo Cali bar, who expressed not being afraid and inviting the barristas from the Avellanada cast to fight against them in the Argentine streets.
“We are not afraid, let them come to recover their flag.”

However, the highest point of these violent dimes and diretes would have occurred this Tuesday. And it is that as Carrozza reported on her social networks through a Twitter thread, A group of close to 200 barristas from the Racing Club “went out at dawn through the streets of CABA to hunt down the Colombians who stole the flag”managing to capture two of them.
“The Racing bar kidnapped and tortured the two Colombians in a seedy hotel on Corrientes Avenue. They were going to have them locked up there until the flag appeared. The neighbors heard screaming and crying, they called the police and they had to release them.”Carrozza gravely denounced.
Despite the subsequent arrest of both fans of ‘La Academia’ and ‘El Azucarero’, the criminal mess was not just that, since this Wednesday, the Argentine journalist returned to report on the subject and detailed: “The Racing bar toured the city all night in search of the stolen rag. They assure that he is in Los Perales and threaten to take him to the Cali banner at the Obelisk. In addition, one of the Colombians detained at the hotel wanted to stab a police officer with a screwdriver.”.
About 200 Racing bars went out at dawn through the streets of CABA to hunt down the Colombians who stole the flag. Simultaneously, there was a raid on the house where the video was filmed. The rag was gone. A lot of attention to the flag of Cali in the obelisk.
