Mariano Zitto on Independiente v U de Chile: "I sense a lack of caution" | OneFootball

After the scandalous incidents between Independiente and Universidad de Chile during the Copa Sudamericana, the prosecutor of the case, Mariano Zitto, gave more details about the acts of violence at the Libertadores de América in an interview with DSports Radio (FM 103.1): “We have some cases of attempted homicide. Given what happened, I’m grateful that there were no fatalities. For now, these are the charges.”

In that regard, he added: “We have received hundreds of videos from different social networks that show a situation that got out of control and that, without a doubt, could have been worse. A minority tarnishes what should be entertainment for families.”

“I notice a certain lack of prevention. Because of that, there was an escalation. The Chilean fans had already broken the cameras, the stairs, the buffet. That should have been a warning for the sporting event before it even started,” Zitto stated.

Although he was cautious regarding the measures to be taken, he explained the reason for the closure of the Libertadores de América: “It comes from the appearance of the images and the way the lack of internal prevention coordination unfolded between private security and the police authorities outside. All those involved in security should agree on how they are going to handle this at any other match from now on in this stadium.”

Mariano Zitto is the same prosecutor who took charge of the case of Nahuel Perrito Barrios, regarding the shooting in Villa Tranquila, Dock Sud after going to see his cousin at a futsal lightning tournament.
