La defensa de Marcelo Moretti por el escándalo en San Lorenzo: explicó que "la plata fue una donación al club" y apuntó contra Tinelli y Lammens por "una cama política"

Key Accusations

Marcelo Moretti, president of San Lorenzo, is accused of accepting a $25,000 bribe in exchange for signing a player's son to the club's youth division. This accusation stems from a hidden camera video.

Moretti's Defense

Moretti claims the money was a donation that was properly recorded in the club's treasury. He alleges a year-long extortion attempt to release the video. He also points fingers at former presidents Matías Lammens and Marcelo Tinelli for a supposed political attack.

Political Implications

Moretti suggests that his success in leading San Lorenzo (currently third in the league, plans to build a stadium) has made him a target. He believes the attack is aimed at harming his image and position.

Legal Actions

Moretti has stated his intention to file a self-report to the authorities, accusing those involved of extortion, influence peddling, and mismanagement. He claims that he informed AFA president Claudio 'Chiqui' Tapia and received his support.

Further Developments

The video's release is expected to be followed by more material. Moretti remains defiant and refuses to resign.

• Moretti asserts that club officials were aware of the donation.
• He alleges an attempt to purchase the video for $100,000.
