These are times of protagonism of the stadiums of the biggest clubs in Argentina.

Either for the works that are missing in one or for those that were done in the other. 

The truth is that there is a common denominator: Justice put Boca and River under the magnifying glass. 

Regarding

Boca and La Bombonera

The inspection this Monday was scheduled to be carried out jointly between the club, the control agencies and the technicians to

"rule and issue this week so that the assistants can go quietly, and locate themselves in the upper South stand"

, according to comments from the Mass Events Prosecutor's Office, in charge of Dr. Celsa Ramírez.

At the same time,

the club was urged to complete reports pending from October last year

, when it was notified.

The main problem, according to the same prosecutor's office, is that

"to date there is no technical opinion that says there are no risks"

and in order to lift the closure, the experts must confirm that the cracks in the stands were repaired or do not entail any situation. dangerous to the public.

Given this panorama, with the inspection carried out, the Prosecutor's Office will submit a report to the court and there it will be determined if the closure of the Superior South stand is lifted or if it is maintained until it is able to receive the fans again in that sector. .

On Sunday, Boca will host Platense.

For its part, River lived a special and festive Sunday after the remodeling of the Monumental, which, once the first part of the new works was completed, has a capacity of 83,198 people

and

the stadium was full, with that amount of public, in the I find that Martín Demichelis's team beat Argentinos Juniors 2-1. 

However,

from the Mass Events Prosecutor's Office they believe that there were more people.

That is why he initiated a case for excess of public as well as for omission of collections. 


It is that he is also investigating what happened to the two fans who threw themselves down from the Sívori median tribune.

One of them had to be treated because he had become unconscious and was taken by ambulance to the Fernández hospital.

Then, Ramírez's working group announced that it will investigate the role played by the security personnel of the place and the Police in order to determine if there really were more spectators than allowed.

In any case,

the Prosecutor's Office, for the moment, acted ex officio since no record arrived at River

.

And 

from the club they consider that there are no risks of suspension either from the stadium or from any grandstand since they affirm that they have arguments to demonstrate that the capacity and the pertinent security measures were met

, even with the complications that could have generated in the logistics high temperatures in public transit and new changes in sectors.

Among them, the turnstiles were found and none marks a number greater than the allowed number.
