the shocking images of the search of Boca fans before facing River in Córdoba

The images are shocking and cause concern in the run-up to the Super classic this Sunday between River y Boca. At the entrances to the Province of Córdoba, the Security agencies confiscated several of the buses of both fans this Sunday and found everything: knives of various sizes, scissors, chains and a lot of alcohol. “This has to be a party, we need the fervor of the people, because it is a match between two adversaries and not two enemies”he assured Marcelo Frossascopresident of the Sports Safety Council of Córdoba.

“From very early on we have been monitoring the arrival of supporters along the access routes, with 90 buses from each team on average. Everything is going according to plan. These are the usual controls that we told them about, that we warned them not to bring elements because “They were going to be seized either on the route or at the entrances to the stadium,” Frossasco completed, in statements to TyC Sports, regarding the prior return of both fans for a Superclásico, for the first time since the 2018 Super Cup on national territory.

Until after 9:00 this Sunday, the Police had already controlled 92 collectivesas reported through a press release, and the belongings of almost 4500 supporters.

“These are the usual controls, items that are seized on the route or in the vicinity of the stadium. The staff has the order to record everything that threatens the operation,” said Frossasco.

In addition, the person in charge of security confirmed that three hours before the start of the match, scheduled for 3:30 p.m., the Kempes doors will open so that the public can begin to enter the stands.

As he was able to find out Clariona large number of fans from both clubs already have tickets to enter the Kempes this Sunday, with capacity for 57 thousand people. And so that there were no problems, there was an organization among all the security forces involved in the operation so that there were no problems or confrontations during the transfers. Of course, here in Córdoba they assure that those who have the right of admission will not enter the stadium. That is why a physical ID is required for access, in addition to the ticket.

“We have already informed both clubs that whoever has the right of admission should not come because they will not be able to enter.”stated in dialogue with Clarín, Marcelo Frossasco, president of the Sports Security Council of Córdoba, while carrying out an inspection by the Kempes to adjust details for the match together with members of the AFA and the Professional League.

Then, Frossasco detailed the operation: “There will be 1,800 personnel including the Police, private agents, Secure Tribune, the Córdoba Sports Agency, Traffic, Civil Defense and Inspection and Control of Public Roads. In turn, the Córdoba Safe Tribune program will be operating at all entry gates. And we have the complement of the Ministry of National Security with the Sports Events area, which collaborates in the stadium and in the checkpoints that are carried out in Toledo, on Route 9 and in Río Cuarto, on Route 8. Admissions will be controlled of both teams.”

In any case, on the issue of the right of admission there is a substantial difference. The leadership of Los Borrachos del Tablón is prevented from entering because they are on the list of prohibitions, while those of La Doce are not. Although there are still bars from both clubs in the Tribuna Segura database. From River, there are 4,900 supporters, of which 200 would be members of the barrabrava, and from Boca, there are 5,200, of which 80 are designated as members of the barrabrava. These data arise from the registry of the Security Committee of the City of Buenos Aires.

“The difference is that the leadership of the Boca bar, which was in the Secure Tribune due to an administrative sanction from the State, has already complied with it. So, if once the sentence has been served they did not commit any infraction, there is no way to put them in, unless the Boca leadership requests it. And those from River, for various infractions, we include them from the State in the list, and at the same time the leadership of River, many of them have the right of admission,” explained a senior National Security official to Clarín.

To guarantee security and that controls are complied with, security agencies planned a mega-operation for the transfers. The baton will be passed between four district police officers and the Gendarmerie.

The Boca bar, with Rafael Di Zeo and Mauro Martín at the helm, will leave from Bombonerita this Saturday night in 12 buses (and they will carry the big flags in private cars). The City Police will act there, which, after pat-downs and searches, will escort them to the West Access, where the Buenos Aires Provincial Police will come into action and will accompany them from that highway to Colón, where, after crossing that Buenos Aires town, They will be received by the Santa Fe Police, who will be waiting with assault cars and mobile phones to continue the transfer along Route 8 to the provincial border with Córdoba, located in the city of Arias. There everything is in the hands of the Mediterranean province. In turn, the Gendarmerie will participate in the checkpoints.

For their part, Los Borrachos del Tablón would leave early Sunday morning. The data they have from Security is that some of them will be camouflaged in the 15 buses that will leave with common fans and members of branches from the City of Buenos Aires and others will do so in private cars from the Province of Buenos Aires. They will try to go unnoticed.

There has not been a Superclásico with both fans in the stadium since March 14, 2018, when River beat Boca in the final of the Argentine Super Cup in Mendoza. So, the concern is great, especially due to the presence of the bars. And there is a maximum alert in search of the most important match in Argentine football being lived in peace.
