Flu-Boca: fear hits the party

After the first attacks on the beaches of Copacabana in the afternoon, nighttime violence escalated at that emblematic site of River Janeireither. It seems like a hunt for fans of Mouth. They behaved peacefully, but were ambushed, chased, beaten and robbed by the fanatics of Fluminense. Furthermore, instead of arresting the aggressors, with no deterrence and much complicity, the Brazilian police liberated the area, attacked the victims and even arrested some of them…

Some of the pictures are shocking. The worst: a fan of Mouth arms raised, standing back, police attack him from behind with rubber bullets… Not just him. Testimonies of the injured are replicated on social networks and by special envoys of Argentine television channels.

Later episodes and some words are even scarier. This Friday at four in the afternoon (9 pm Spanish time) there will be a flag-off for fans of Mouth which promises to be amazing. Thousands and thousands of xeneize fans are expected. And this is logical: we already know that tomorrow there will be more than 100,000, which will honor a historic mobilization.

Concerns are mounting because this Friday Rio de Janeiro the bold bar is also coming Mouth. One of its main leaders is called Marcelo Aravena. They nicknamed him ‘El Manco’. He was one of the most dangerous members of that violent group. First, he was sentenced to prison for killing two football fans. river in 1994. Shortly after regaining his freedom, he was arrested again for extortion, theft and drug dealing. ‘El Manco’ Aravena promised through an audio that went viral on WhatsApp: “The people who are waiting for us to come and for those Fluminense They came looking for us. We will defend the fans of Mouth. Let them find us. They are forced to fight in the bar Mouthbar to bar, don’t fight people.”

At one point, the possibility of not playing the game is considered. When Daniel Scioliambassador of Argentina to Brazil, he slipped: “We hope that it is not suspended, but in this dynamic we do not know what can happen.” That variable was thrown when from Conmebol They quietly announced that the final would be done no matter what.

In this context, on Thursday night at riverthere were several meetings between the leaders of Mouth, representatives of Conmebol, officials from the Argentine Consulate in Brazil and Argentine security authorities who traveled especially for the occasion. Interestingly, there was no one from the police Rio de Janeiro… For this Friday, the highest football organization has urgently called all parties to hold a security meeting. It’s a shame that fear defeated the party by a landslide.
