in a week the fans raised 650 million pesos

The goal, very high, that was set Santiago Maratea when he launched the trust to raise money to pay off the debt of Independent is to reach 20 million dollars. It is difficult to know if that amount will be covered, which would clean up the delicate economic and financial situation of the Avellaneda club. However, in barely a week of collecting the red fans reached 650 million pesos. If the official exchange rate of this Thursday is taken into account, it would be about 2.8 million dollars, which means covering half of the debt with America from Mexico.

Independiente is currently inhibited by FIFA due to the claim made by the Central American team, which demands the payment of the Cecilio Dominguez that the previous management chaired by Hugo Moyano did not complete It is about 5.7 million dollars in total. Until you pay that amount, the Diablo You will not be able to incorporate and youth players over the age of 15 who signed up in 2023 will not be able to perform in their categories either.

This is the largest and most urgent debt that the Avellaneda entity has. And it is imperative to solve it to lift the inhibition. Well then, in the first seven days of the campaign led by Maratea, donations have already covered 50 percent of that number.

Both the supporters and former players and current members of the Rojo squad and coaching staff collaborated financially through the Mercadopago account that Maratea opened for the contributions to be made: Maratearojo. The CVU number is: 0000003100056132456587. There are also fixed payment links, where the contributor can donate 32,000, 16,000, 8,000, or 4,000.

In the last few hours the General Inspectorate of Justice intimidated Santiago Maratea to submit a copy of the trust. They also want the influencer register it with the IGJ, since it is currently based in Neuquén (where the Provincial Inspectorate of Legal Entities operates). And they gave him a period of two days.

Maratea denounced this week on his Instagram account having received a lot of hostility and spoke of “operations” against him and against this collection to help Independiente. In turn, he received criticism when saying that he will keep 5 percent of the total collected.

This Saturday he will appear at an event in Córdoba together with red fans to continue promoting this movement.

The account is expected to increase in the coming days since the tool for foreign fans and supporters clubs to transfer money has not yet been implemented.
