On Sunday afternoon, the name of
ANVISA
became known to all Argentines.
An official of the agency in charge of health on Brazilian soil made his appearance 5 minutes into the match between the National Team and Brazil, suspending the classic abruptly and causing a commotion that went around the world and that continues its course on FIFA desks.
Three days after the role in San Pablo, the entity of the government of Jair Bolsonaro is back in the news but this time due to a somewhat unusual situation and very typical of the times,
with virtuality dominating life
.
According to the local newspaper
Folha do S. Paulo
, the ANVISA page
suffered a cyber attack
clearly linked to Sunday's episode, when Messi and Neymar were left with the desire to continue playing for the South American Qualifiers.

On the front page of the site, which is already working correctly, when entering the section where the affidavits on health status are downloaded, a flag of Argentina appeared along with the legend, written in Portuguese:
"We are not in quarantine to go around their servers, are they going to expel us too? "
.
A few hours later, ANVISA gave their version of what happened and expressed their discomfort: "Faced with this criminal action, Anvisa
is immediately calling the Federal Police
and adopting technical measures to seek to rebuild the system."
The word of ANVISA
After the controversial suspension of the match, the ANVISA authorities gave their explanations in which they
pointed out as responsible for the episode the four Argentine players
who arrived in Brazil from England, after stopping in Venezuela: Martínez, Romero, Buendía and Lo Celso .
"The players falsely declared that they had not passed through the United Kingdom", declared in La Nación + the head of the Fifth Section of Anvisa, Alex Campos, who reinforced this concept: "They gave
false information
to the Brazilian authorities."
"They said they came from Caracas and it could be that they had quarantined there, we had no way to confirm it at that moment," Campos assured.
And then he said: "We sent the information to the Brazilian government
to confirm if this was the case
.
"
Beyond the words of the ANVISA official, it is worth remembering that in the last hours from that health agency it was ensured that the person who had received the notification that said that the Argentines should be confined in quarantine to later be deported was the coach of the U20 National Team. , Fernando Bocha Batista.
This information was categorically denied by Batista himself, who assured that he had not been to Brazil
and that he was evaluating taking legal action against ANVISA
