The Embassy and the Consulate of Peru in Spain provided assistance on Monday night and Tuesday morning to the members of the soccer team iinvolved in an altercation with the Spanish National Police outside their hotel in Madridwhere a large group of Peruvian fans awaited them.
Hours before, several players and other members of the expedition of the Peruvian soccer team clashed with some agents of the National Police who guaranteed their safety, during a reception organized by the fans at the gates of the NH Collection Eurobuilding hotel, a incident that ended with Gallese’s appearance at a Spanish Police station, from which he has already left without charges.
The Peruvian team arrived at the hotel after the evening training session held at the Ciudad del Fútbol in Las Rozas.
As reported by police sources and corroborated by the images recorded by witnesses, some of the players of the Peruvian team, which is playing a friendly match in the Spanish capital against Morocco on Tuesday, exceeded the security perimeter marked by the National Police to greet the fans at the doors of the hotel where they are staying.
At that moment, the agents of the Police Intervention Unit (UIP), better known as riot police, told them that they should go back towards the hotel door, which sparked shoving and slapping between police officers, members of the Peruvian expedition and fans.
In the videos broadcast through social networks, it can be seen that Pedro Gallese, Álex Varela and Yoshimar Yotún were some of the footballers involved in the altercations, which were finally neutralized by the Police.
Sources from the Peruvian Football Federation (FPF) consulted by EFE classify the incident as “confusing” and indicate that through the videos released “they are trying to clarify the situation” and “resolve what happened.” Peru will face Morocco this Tuesday in a friendly match to be held starting at 9:30 p.m. at the Cívitas Metropolitano Stadium.
