Copa Argentina, suspected case of football betting: Leyendeker’s killer foul on Zeballos is investigated

An intervention that arouses perplexity …

In Argentina, justice moves on a suspected case of football betting. We investigate the match between Agropecuario and Boca Juniors in the round of 16 of the Copa Argentina (victory of the Xeneizes with a goal from Pol Fernández).

Did it hurt him on purpose?

During the match, the defender of the red-green was expelled (the club of Carlos Casares, a municipality in the province of Buenos Aires, plays in the Primera B Nacional, the second division of Argentine football), Milton Leyendeker for the killer foul on Exequiel Zeballos. After the media report, an official investigation was opened by the prosecutor Celsa Ramírez, head of the Public Prosecutor’s Office specializing in mass events, for an alleged link with football betting.

The Prosecutor’s Office of the PCyF n.35 set in motion after the complaint made during a television program, according to which a bet would have been bet on the expulsion of a player before ten minutes of play. The defender of the Sojero was dismissed from the field in the 8th minute. The reporter will now be called to testify. There has been no police report to date. Meanwhile, poor Zeballos will have to stay in the pits for 4 to 6 months. The president of the Agropecuario, Bernando Grobocopatel, took the defense of Leyendeker: “I trust Milton“. And then with a hint of irony: “It seems right to me that it be investigated because this is what justice is needed. Ulpianus, an ancient Roman jurist, defined justice as the perpetual and constant desire to give everyone the right to him. If he wakes up and sees this, he will die again “, Grobocopatel told a Télam.
