The Specialized Prosecutor for Massive Events of the City of Buenos Aires extended the closure of the Sívori tribune of the River stadium for 24 hours to continue with the investigation of the case of the fan who died last Saturday in the match against Defensa y Justicia, for the Professional League.
Pending the results of the victim’s toxicological examination, the Prosecutor’s Office in charge of Celsa Ramírez reported that the investigation will continue “until the proceedings for the request for cameras, information and documentation” to Club Atlético River Plate are completed.
Last Saturday, a fan of the club, identified as Paul Serrano, fell from the Sívori Alta tribune and died instantly. Hours after the tragic event, the club issued a statement stating that the fan “jumped into the void” and that no scenes of violence were recorded.
The game was suspended after 26 minutes of the first half, when River tied without goals against Defensa y Justicia for the nineteenth date of the Professional Soccer League. The Núñez club will have a new commitment on Wednesday, this time for the fifth date of Group D of the Copa Libertadores, against Fluminense of Brazil. And according to the resolution of the Specialized Prosecutor for Massive Events, it will do so with a full stadium or without being able to use the Sívori grandstand.
The Buenos Aires justice has jurisdiction in this matter by virtue of Art.2 of the Sports Law -Law 24192 of the Penal Code- for the prevention and repression of violence in massive sporting events.
