Christian Polettithe lawyer of Independentruled that the situation that the Avellaneda club is experiencing due to the debt to the footballer Gonzalo Veron is bankruptcy. The lawyer qualified that it is impossible to pay such money (more than 2 billion pesos) in a labor lawsuit.
“This is really the bankruptcy of Independiente. You cannot pay such money in a labor lawsuit. It is impossible. Honestly, I have never read a labor sentence like the one from Verón to Independiente. It does not exist. It is all orchestrated. It is a sentence that decrees the death of Independent. It was always known that the demand was not going to be answered”he pointed Poletti in the party program Very CAI Radio.
“Since the beginning of the hiring of Gonzalo Verón, something was not right. A contract was signed that is made in England or France. He was unusual and everything that followed is a shame. We are facing a documented crime”commented on it.
On the other hand, he referred to the previous management that was chaired by Hugo Moyano: “Money laundering is what we believe existed here in this case. We are working to prosecute all the culprits who have been involved. They did great damage to the club. In a few weeks I studied the matter. It didn’t take months. We have a very big suspicion. There are crimes that will be shown in justice. I have no doubts that there are guilty, I am optimistic”.
Why the “Racing Law” could save Independiente
The sentence of Labor Court No. 2 of Avellaneda which last week ordered Independent to pay millions of dollars (which he does not have) to Gonzalo Verona former player of the club, caused chaos in the club.
The word “bankruptcy” began to fly over avellaneda and there was no shortage of those who compared the situation with which he went through racing two decades ago.
This put on the table the Law 25,284which at that time served as a lifeline for the “Academy” and which in the future could reach, voluntarily or compulsively, Independent.
The standard, whose name is “Special regime of administration of sports entities with economic difficulties”was sanctioned by the National Congress on July 6, 2000, and aims to enable civil sports associations that have been declared bankrupt to continue with their activities and, thus, “protect sport as a social right”.
The application of the rule, still in force, entails the displacement of the Board of Directors and the institutional and statutory bodies, and the constitution of a trust under the responsibility of a fiduciary body, responsible for the administration of the club and made up of three members: a accountant, a lawyer and a sports administrator.
The main task of this body is to generate genuine income that makes it possible to guarantee payment to the creditors and workers of the institution, and thus to settle the liabilities.
