River Plate Faces Security Chief Abuse Probe as Club Activates Protocol

Public pressure is building for a clear explanation from leaders during the judicial inquiry.

Overview

  • The complaint, filed April 8 in Buenos Aires Criminal Court No. 45, accuses River Plate’s head of security of sexual abuse and the case remains under investigation.
  • Opposition leader Mónica Ernitz said she and other members asked president Stefano Di Carlo for answers and have not received a reply or an official statement.
  • Former presidential candidate Daniel Kiper said the club activated its gender protocol for these cases and that officials took preventive steps.
  • Club sources disputed parts of the allegation, saying the complainant had been questioned over prior member complaints and that the physical contact described may have been a gesture after a match.
  • The case involves a club employee from the security area and has gained attention before the Boca match at the Monumental, increasing pressure on governance and workplace safeguards.
