Jorge Amor Ameal was convicted of discriminating against former Boca executives

The president of Boca, Jorge Amor Ameal, was convicted by the Superior Court of Justice of the City of Buenos Aires for “discriminating” against former leaders of the club for their political ideology, such as former president Daniel Angelici and former general secretary Christian Gribaudo.After the first ruling, the current president appealed, first before the chamber and then in a higher instance, and now it will face the last instance of appeal in the highest courts of Buenos Aires, and if it is not presented before the Supreme Court of the Nation, the payment of a fine of $ 116,740 will be ratified. The predecessors accuse him of having canceled 110 subscriptions for political reasons when he barely assumed his administration, which is considered a discriminatory act. For its part, Ameal argued that those partners obtained their subscriptions, in December 2019, illegally and illegitimately. The former directors had tried to go to the court on January 26, 2020, but at the door they were prevented from accessing. “Mr. Ameal, in his capacity as president of Club Atlético Boca Juniors, engaged in discriminatory action by revoking the subscriptions that purchasing members had lawfully acquired, paying the corresponding price,” states the original ruling. After being convicted in the first instance and firmly, Doble Amarilla reported that the leader paid the fine after not having a response from the Court of Appeals, while the Superior Court of Justice rejected his complaint. The appellant has requested that the Court make an exception to the rule according to which the complaint does not suspend the execution of the decision against which the constitutional complaint was lodged (cf. art. 32, law no. 402); however, it does not show that it is evident that his appeal of unconstitutionality had been wrongly denied, nor that the requested measure is indispensable to preserve the effects of the sentence that this Court could issue, if its proposals are successful, “says the sentence, according to the media.
