translated from Spanish: They call for 4 years in prison for the referee who staked Newell’s juveniles

Rosario’s Sexual Integrity Crimes Against Prosecutor Carla Cerliani asked for four years of effective imprisonment for referee Martin Bustos, charged with the crime of grooming against at least two underage players from Newell’s, and also raised the cause to trial. The prosecutor’s raise is after Bustos decided not to endorse an abbreviated trial to which he was to be subdued and which he had already signed. The 90-day pre-trial detention he had been given to the referee would expire tomorrow Friday, but the prosecutor did not ask to extend it. However, he will remain in custody as the cause that was initiated in Rosario caused him to lose his freedom in which the abuses are investigated at the Club Independiente.Bustos was arrested last June in the parking lot of the Mercado del Patio, on the corner of Cafferata and Cordoba, Rosario, after the denunciation of the authorities of Newell’s. According to the complaint, the referee traveled to Rosario in his car after contacting a 14-year-old teenager who lived in the club’s pension via social media and via whatsapp.
He posed as a sports masseur under the name Martín Lucero, and offered the victim a massage session in exchange for 200 pesos.
Bustos used his first name but not his last name and although he never had personal contact with the child, to whom the messages were suspicious and that is why he decided to tell the psychologist of the club, who immediately made the complaint in the prosecutor’s office in charge of Carla Cer Liani. The referee had been arrested in March 2018 on charges of being part of a gang promoting child abuse, where he captured boys on social media, mainly from the Independent club.In September of the same year, he was released after Lomas’ Chamber I of Zamora will change the cover from “child sexual abuse” to “promotion to child corruption”. After being arrested last June in Rosario for the cause of grooming, prosecutor María Soledad Garibaldi, in charge of the Independiente file, requested that he be revoked and applied for pre-trial detention.
