A new scandal broke out in San Lorenzo. Nestor Ortigozareported for gender violence by his ex-wife who posted incriminating videos on her networks, reappeared at the Board of Directors meeting this Tuesday to use his position as a member to confirm that he is not going to resign and in front of all the directors he accused to the president Marcelo Moretti of being behind the leak of the videos to dirty him.
The day-to-day life at the Boedo club gives no respite. The poor performance of the team, which is sailing at the bottom of the table, is intertwined with the managerial problems that continue to occur in a leadership that lives in a constant and fierce internal situation.
The meeting of Board of Directors It was attended by Ortigoza, who attended accompanied by his lawyer. The former Ciclón football manager and current member sat on the other side of Moretti at the long table on which the directors sat.
The former 2014 Copa Libertadores champion midfielder targeted the president directly, accusing him of being responsible for the dissemination of the videos in which they are seen attacking his ex-wife. Lucia Cassiau. Moretti replied that if he has evidence of what he maintains, he should report it to court.
In turn, Ortigoza also responded to the request of the Gender and Diversity Subcommittee of the institution, which had demanded his suspension and subsequent expulsion through the procedure established in the Statute. Ortigoza made it clear that he is not going to step aside and said that if they have evidence, they will file the corresponding complaint. He maintained that he is not on trial and that all the material in his favor is already in Justice.
From the Subcommittee They explained that remaining silent in the face of the images that went viral on networks and in the media would have meant normalizing violence and that a summary should be opened so that the Assembly can make the final decision.
The personal situation of Nestor Ortigoza with his ex-partner and mother of his two children has repercussions in San Lorenzo. This is a situation that already has several chapters and that is in the hands of Justice with cross-complaints. Weeks ago there was a raid on a house in the Terralagos neighborhood of Canning, where two firearms that were in the name of the 35-year-old woman were kidnapped.
When the recordings made by his ex-wife were released in which he is seen attacking her in the presence of one of their children, the Family Court No. 6 of Lomas de Zamora He issued a perimeter restraining order.
As all this came to light days after Moretti took away responsibility for managing the Barça club’s football after he exposed the internal short circuits in an interview, Ortigoza sees a maneuver by the president himself against him. The club had also issued a harsh statement asking him to “submit his resignation from the position of member, since his actions do not represent the values that our institution upholds.”
But Ortigoza relies on the figure of “presumed innocence” to maintain his firm position of not resigning and accuses an “unconcealable media operation.”
