Poduje da ultimátum a Kegevic para dejar sede del tenis chileno: amenazó con querella y …

The Chilean Housing Iván Poduje issued a 24‑hour ultimatum to Milovan Kegevic, the suspended president of the Chilean Tennis Federation, demanding he vacate the organization’s headquarters on Cerro Colorado in Las Condes or face legal action for usurpation, Biobiochile.cl reported. The minister warned that if Kegevic and his associates did not leave the property within 24 hours, the government would initiate a legal case and deploy Carabineros to remove them. The dispute centers on control of the federation’s facilities, which Poduje stated belong to SERVIU, a state agency responsible for housing and urban development.

The ultimatum escalates the conflict between Kegevic and the current leadership of the Chilean Tennis Federation, led by Juan Bugueño. The federation alleged in a statement on October 30 that Kegevic had retained unauthorized control of the premises, disrupting operations and violating institutional protocols. The federation’s communication cited issues including maintenance failures, difficulties using previously reserved courts, and noise complaints from late‑night events. A separate report highlighted concerns over a private digital platform for court rentals, which allegedly diverted revenue away from the federation’s official accounts.

The Minister’s Ultimatum and Legal Threats

Poduje’s demand came after the federation publicly reiterated its claim that Kegevic had no authority to manage the facilities. In a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter), the minister emphasized that the property in question is owned by SERVIU and accused Kegevic of running an “illegal business” from the premises. “If Mr. Kegevic does not dismantle his illegal operation and vacate the property within 24 hours, we will file a usurpation lawsuit and have the police evict them. No one skips the queue,” Poduje wrote.

The federation’s October 30 statement detailed specific grievances, including the presence of “nighttime gatherings” and “unauthorized individuals” staying overnight at the site.

Conflict Over Institutional Control

The dispute reflects tensions within the Chilean Tennis Federation. Despite his suspension, the federation claims he has continued to exert influence over key operations, including the management of the Las Condes facility. Bugueño’s leadership has sought to reassert control, but its efforts have been complicated by Kegevic’s alleged persistence in occupying the premises.

The federation’s October 30 statement also raised concerns about the financial implications of the situation. It alleged that a private digital platform for court rentals, operated without official oversight, was generating revenue that was not funneled into the federation’s accounts.

Next Steps and Institutional Implications

The 24-hour deadline set by Poduje in the dispute. If Kegevic and his associates fail to comply, the government’s decision to involve Carabineros could lead to a forced eviction.
