Justice officials raid River Plate club headquarters

Buenos Aires province court officials raided today the offices of the River Plate club in the investigation carried out after the violent incidents during last Sunday’s match against Vélez Sarsfield.

Police officers carrying out the raid want to know if the eighteen hooligan detained, accused of causing the disturbances, are official club members.

The officials were at River’s headquarters for approximately an hour and left taking documents in the effort to elucidate the case and identify the perpetrators.

They are also investigating why over approximately six thousand River Club members were authorized to attend the game when the agreement between the clubs was a maximum of four thousand members.
