Based on a complaint
of gender violence
against the player Enzo Fragoza, the Olimpo de Bahía Blanca club decided to "remove him from the squad temporarily."
"The Olimpo Club has become aware of facts reported through social networks regarding a possible situation of gender violence and threats. This would involve a player from the Liga del Sur squad," began the statement shared in the last hours at social media.
The complaint to which the club refers has to do with Enzo Fragosa (20) who was accused by his former partner and mother of his one-year-old daughter for gender violence and for threatening to stab her.
"He threatened me that he was going to stab me, in any fight there was always the threat of killing me. I was with him for three years but after two years the mistreatment began," Juliana (23) said in dialogue with
C5N
.
I got tired.
I don't want to be one more.
ENZO FRAGOZA!
Remember that name and that face.
If something happens to me, it was him.
I DO NOT WANT TO DIE.
He has a death threat on me.

The statement from Olimpo de Bahía Blanca after removing one of its players from the squad due to a complaint of gender violence.
A few weeks ago, the Bahía Blanca team, which currently plays for Federal A, was also in the news for a serious event that featured the now former first team coach, Alejandro Abaurre.
Abaurre announced on the club's social networks his departure from the institution, according to his statement, for "personal reasons."
A media
outlet from
Bahia called
Brújula 24
announced that the real reason for the coach's departure was because the players accused him of asking
"sexual favors" from some players
in exchange for minutes on the pitch.
"
It is a violin. That it does not continue because we denounced it,
" was what the athletes told the Aurinegra authorities, according to what the local media revealed.
Such testimony would have caused the dismissal of the Mendoza disguised as resignation.
On the other hand, in 2018, Olimpo separated the goalkeeping coach from the First Division team, who was denounced by a 14-year-old girl for sexual abuse.
The cover of the case would be "aggravated sexual abuse, without carnal access."
The aggravated character is because Farías would be the victim's guardian.
