In recent days there have been reports that an Aurora player had impersonated, which is why the celestial institution could lose the category and the athlete receive a harsh sanction.
The footballer targeted is the youth Gabriel Montaño, one of the pleasant revelations in Bolivian football, who is accused of using the identity of a deceased younger brother.
The president of Aurora, Jaime Cornejo, referred to this issue in the city of La Paz, where he traveled on Thursday to participate in the Extraordinary Congress of the Bolivian Football Federation (FBF).
“What I have talked to him (Gabriel Montaño) is that he has an older brother, he is 28 years old, and don’t tell me that he is going to impersonate an older person, does he have the face of a 28-year-old, isn’t it impossible? Once and for all, they should stop fooling around and if they have evidence, let them do it, what do they expect? If they have evidence, why don’t they start legal action? We are totally calm,” Cornejo told the media.
The head of the Cochabamba club revealed that there was pressure for Aurora to support a request that was going to be made in the Superior Council of the Professional Division so that there were no relegations and that in exchange there would not be any claim about the alleged case of impersonation of identity.
“The pressure has come from all sides, that has made me have the firmest decision and my thought is that we cannot harm another club for the year, because there would have to be two direct relegations, it is not my responsibility to make that decision.”
After the Extraordinary Congress of the FBF, on the same Thursday night, a Superior Council of the Professional Division was scheduled to be held to address the issue of no relegations this year, finally the council was not held.
“If the council had been installed, we would have made it public and we would not have participated in that vote,” added Cornejo, in time to point out that there were more than ten clubs that did not agree that there would be no relegations this year.
The president of Aurora acknowledged that the issue of identity theft was bothersome and that he decided to speak publicly because he understands that “he who remains silent wins.”
“I am taking precautions. If the press has evidence and replicates something, it has to take it to the end, I’ll see, because it’s not just a matter of cheerfully issuing false accusations, it’s already a good size, whoever remains silent grants and that’s why I’ve come out to speak the truth,” he emphasized. the boss of the town team.
