New Video Shows Néstor Ortigoza Forcibly Removed From Buenos Aires Nightclub After Fight

A longer clip circulating online has both sides weighing legal action.

Overview

  • A nearly three‑minute video published Thursday shows a confrontation inside Tropitango in El Talar and ends with security hauling Ortigoza out.
  • Ortigoza and his partner, Rocío Oliva, say he stepped in after a guard grabbed her by the neck, and he added that staff also hassled a friend.
  • The footage shows green laser pointers used to mark the trouble spot as at least five bouncers restrained Ortigoza with a neck hold and moved him through the crowd.
  • Owners of the club are considering a complaint against the ex‑player, and Oliva’s lawyer says she may file her own, with no new charges confirmed as of Saturday.
  • The incident is drawing extra scrutiny because Ortigoza already faces a 2024 gender‑violence case and a March 2026 court order that restricted his travel over unpaid child support.
