AnFP confirmed that on 25 September it opened an investigation into allegations against the coach of the Red Women, José Letelier. It is all based on the information provided by the Anjuff and the Sifup that speaks and misattitudes with a selected one. The Third released the statement, where from Quilin they write that “on Wednesday, September 25 we received a letter from the National Association of Women’s Football Players (Anjuff) raising concerns about improper events that would have occurred in the women’s team and that they would have a relationship with coach José Letelier. We responded immediately, citing them to a meeting a couple of hours later that day in ANFP units,” they say. And they continue to add that “at the appointment, the Anjuff reported on alleged inappropriate behaviors that would have occurred during the World Cup in France. Although there was no formal complaint and no specific record was handed over, the protocols were immediately activated on the basis of our “Internal Complaint and Investigation Policy”. In addition, they add that the investigation was initiated on 25 September “and this has developed with the utmost thoroughness and diligence, in order to be able to clarify the facts reported. This research is also being carried out within a framework where the integrity of people is respected and safeguarded.” Consulted by Cooperative, Letelier referred to the situation, stating that he has to “talk first about what it is and they will have to inform me in what context the letter arrived. I can’t say anything, only I’ve never committed an act of harassment or anything like that,” he said. In this vein, he argued that “first I must inform myself well that this is because I wasn’t even aware of what was in the press. (…) I’m pretty surprised and out of place. He was unaware of anything and also not of the letter they submitted to the ANFP. I need to be informed so I can have clarity on the subject.” He also concluded that “I do not know what the meetings of The Sifup and Anjuff with the ANFP were also discussed, so I want to have my version soon,” he replied.
