Independent It is again in the news due to situations that happen off the field. Just as it was with the suspension of Diego Tarzia and Marco Pellegrino for acts of indiscipline, now the club must determine its position based on a complaint at a Sarandí police station by a fan who accused Iván Marcone for hitting him at the door of his home.
According to the complaint, a person was driving his vehicle and on the corner of Magan and Solier, about 300 meters from his home, he saw the Independiente captain parking the car at a relative’s house. The police report states that at 1:10 on Wednesday the complainant shouted from his car: “Go to the Marcone club.”
“The moment the complainant arrives at his home, begins to open the door of the house, Marcone appears (in) his dark gray Audi vehicle, which without saying a word begins to hit him. The complainant runs away, dropping the keys from the car, which the subject Marcone picks up and takes them saying ‘I came to look for her at home’ and leaves the place.”the police complaint states verbatim.
The story coincides with a video circulating on the internet in which a person can be seen turning the corner in his SUV, parking, getting out and walking to the door of what would be his home. The image from a security camera shows how a car arriving in the same direction stops and its driver gets out, who quickly reaches the door and begins to hit the person. It is also noted that he picks up something from the floor, it would be the keys, and leaves.
The attacked person, who runs to escape the blows, returns to the front door, which opens and a woman enters him. The next thing that would have happened is also recorded in the police report, which details how he recovered the keys.
“Then the person goes to the previous address to request the keys and two subjects come out handing over the keys, along with Marcone who says ‘that he is going to hit any fan who yells something at him.’ When asked if he has any injuries, he says that he has a cut on the foreheadculminates the complaint that coincides with an aspect that does not appear in the writing, but to which he agreed Clarion: It would be a typical case of harassment between neighbors.
The person who reported Marcone is an acquaintance in the neighborhood who on other occasions would have yelled things like that at him. This time, the footballer answered him and there was an escalation of insults that continued, as stated in the complaint, with the beating.
This newspaper tried to speak with the footballer to confirm the veracity of the complaint, but Marcone did not answer the calls.. The consulted leaders excused themselves from this, perhaps waiting for a talk with the player or a disciplinary decision for the captain, who has a current of poor performance and is somewhat resisted by the public.
