Santa Fe: Federico Anselmo sues the club for millionaire salary debt before FIFA | Colombian Soccer | Betplay League

It would have to be a time to think exclusively about the Liga Betplay II 2022 home runs, to find tools to endorse the first place in the first phase of the Finalization tournament, to think about football. But the legal and economic messes come knocking on the door right now.

The ‘Cardinal’ team faces a new lawsuit from one of its former foreign players, who is pressing for the payment of debts that there is, at least for now, no way to pay.

While open fronts remain, such as the lawsuits with Patricio Camps and Rubén Betancourt, among others, now a new case is being passed before FIFA, after the decision of the Uruguayan Federico Anselmo to go before the Dispute Resolution Chamber to demand immediate payment. of a debt for salaries, outstanding for nearly three years.

It is worth remembering that Anselmo arrived in Santa Fe in the Camps administration, in June 2019, and that he only played 15 games (261 minutes), without scoring any goals.

But that, in light of the contracts, does not carry much weight. And in them, according to the player, he says that the Bogota club promised to pay him the sum of 70 thousand dollars ($222,460,000 million pesos at the time) and agreed to penalty clauses for breaches equivalent to an additional 150 thousand dollars, plus a default interest of ten percent (10 percent) monthly. In total, it is a debt of 270 thousand dollars plus interest, according to Betancourt’s accounts.

What does Santa Fe say?

What the two parties agree on is that the debt exists, that it is recognized that it is pending payment and that it will be paid. The differences go through the date of those fertilizers and a couple of details that the Uruguayan will not like.

The first is that, according to Santa Fe, the payment will be made but the club is in a reorganization plan that is nothing more than a process in which all creditors are called to schedule the payment of pending accounts, which it is supervised by the Superintendency of Companies and does not allow ‘jumping the queue’, under penalty of entering the liquidation process. Anselmo is one of them, neither more nor less, so he will have to wait.

In addition, within the framework of this process, there is no way to pay debts in dollars, which radically changes what the Uruguayan intends and what he would receive: at the current exchange rate, the claim is greater than 1,100 million pesos, but in the accounts from the Bogota club the sum is only $235,642,056. To complete the disagreement, the club affirms that the footballer left without leaving account numbers to make the transfers, which makes payment difficult. The theme is ‘you have him but he is delayed’ and the lawsuit is just beginning…
