The decision of Patricia Bullrich He matured at the same moment that the cameras detected him in the middle of the search at the Toledo tollbooth, on the Rosario-Córdoba highway. It was on March 30, when six buses were stopped before the semifinal between Boca and Estudiantes. Rafa Di Zeo He got into a truck and left for a nearby gas station. She fled the scene, but could not escape the sanction of the Minister of National Security. The leader of ‘La 12’ will not be able to attend “any sporting event in the country,” as stated in resolution 327/2024., along with 57 other bars who were found in possession of firearms. The prohibition of attendance will be indefinite time.
“What happened the other day is extremely serious. The bus in which 57 people who are today on the admission right lists were traveling, among them, the most renowned leaders of the Boca bar, the famous Di Zeo and others, carried 4 weapons,” Bullrich said at a conference press conference that took place yesterday morning.
“He disappeared, he went to a service station and from there he broke down, but we have it filmed, we know he was there, so consequently he is charged with illegal possession of weapons in a premeditated manner,” added the minister.
Two groups said they were the owners of the weapons at the time of the arrest, but they did not confirm it at the courthouse. “Someone forced them to say that they were theirs; which means that the weapons belonged to everyone who was traveling on the bus,” said the official in charge of the security portfolio of the Government of Javier Milei.
Di Zeo did not speak out publicly after this decision, he had done so on the same day of the episode. His lawyer, Diego Storto, referred to the case: “When they accuse you of committing a crime, they send you a notification. Rafael was never detained, despite the fact that Patricia herself published a tweet saying that. He is not charged. Yes, the people who were on the bus.”
In statements to radio Splendid, Storto emphasized: “The Right of Admission has a legal maximum of four years. It is a total abuse of power that occurs when he says that he is going to apply it for life. Bullrich legislated with a legal reproach that does not exist in the law. He scares me that he will get into the powers that be.”
When the former president of the PRO was the Minister of Security of the Government of Mauricio Macri, she then sanctioned him for four years, a measure that was renewed during Alberto Fernández’s period at the head of the Casa Rosada. However, the head of ‘La 12’ ended acquitted in both cases that weighed on his person in Courts: as the instigator of a double homicide in the prison in 2013 and for aggravated concealment. Di Zeo was able to return to the courts a year ago. Bullrich considers that he is a repeat offender and deserves an exemplary sanction.
“We have the power to apply the indefinite period until the Court orders otherwise. Likewise, if this is the case, we will see the legal way to prevent Di Zeo and company from entering the stadiums. His lawyer can act in the way he considers most appropriate to revoke the sanction. But it will take time and we hope that Justice will be inflexible and accompany, as already happened in the minister’s previous administration,” Franco Berlin, director of Sports Security of the Nation, told Clarion.
“If they are the laws for Boca and nothing else”‘La 12’ posted on its Instagram account, accompanied by an image of Di Zeo in the Bombonera avalanche guard. A place you will never be able to enter again.
