In addition, it is worth mentioning that the Argentine club is an affiliate of the AFA, and has jeopardized the standards of the national entity to guarantee a healthy and safe transparency of sport and the sports sector. In this case there are also reports of players involved in the alleged manipulation of the result.
Given this, the AFA went public to comment on the case in Argentine. In its speech, the organization stressed that the body's commitment is to guarantee sports ethics and repress any type of illegal activity that could tarnish Argentine competitions.
"Our commitment to sports ethics requires us to be adamant about these types of acts that tarnish our competitions, emphatically rejecting any conduct that means manipulating sports results submitted to sports betting."
Noting this case, the newspaper Diario Sur recently reported that the players involved were paid around $3,000 "to score own goals or throw a corner ball." Through this discovery, it was pointed out that the club's leaders were the spokespersons to present the complaint to the AFA and to the Police of Lanús, Buenos Aires. In addition, players also volunteered to report the case.
Luis Parieti, a lawyer for Club El Porvenir, said the goalkeeper mentioned that his teammates had been paid money to let opponents score goals, and put the ball in a corner. In his speech, Parieti said: "Goalkeeper Diego Córdoba told us that his teammates received money to let them score goals and even for corners. There is talk of 100,000 pesos, although there are some who received only 12,000 pesos."
El Porvenir's lawyer emphasized that he had never seen this in his life, and that the situation is very serious for the club. In analysis, the lawyer stressed that those responsible for the club have already communicated the AFA and will take the matter to the AFA Disciplinary Court.
"I have never seen this in my life. It is very serious and at the club we cannot believe what happened. We are in very bad shape and we have already made the formal complaint and we will take the matter to the AFA Disciplinary Court."
Finally, Parieto took the opportunity to comment on the future of the players, claiming that they should no longer be able to play football in Argentina or any other country in the world: "they will no longer be able to play football in Argentina or anywhere else in the world."
