Beyond clenching their fists as
Gallego Insua
does for the great triumph that the team won in an agonizing manner at noon on Sunday 1-0 against Platense,
in San Lorenzo at this time they also celebrate
what they consider to be another victory indoors. but in this case not on the grass.
It is that
the National Court of 1st Instance of Labor No. 47 agreed with him in the trial that Ignacio Piatti was carrying out
against the institution for the termination of his contract in December 2020 and he is only obliged to pay the exit clause of 850 One thousand dollars.
The story between Nacho Piatti and the Cyclone did not end on good terms
.
Although he was champion of the 2014 Copa Libertadores, the most important title in the club's history,
his last step was abruptly cut off
since the leadership decided to use the clause that was stipulated to interrupt their relationship prematurely. .
This happened 10 months after his return from the Montreal Impact of the MLS after Marcelo Tinelli, at that time Barça president, personally closed his return to the Boedo club.
The signed contract was for two years, with increases in his salary.
But there were two clauses, one for each party, to terminate the employment relationship.
Of course, whoever decided to activate this clause had to pay compensation.
The document letter that San Lorenzo sent to Ignacio Piatti in December 2020.
In the case of the Cyclone, it was 850 thousand dollars.
However, P
iatti considered that the clause did not apply since the law that prohibited unjustified dismissals was in force due to the coronavirus pandemic
.
For this reason, the now former footballer (he retired at the end of 2021 after he passed through Racing) sued San Lorenzo claiming the entirety of his contract, the corresponding double compensation and fines.
The total number of what he demanded climbed up to approximately 2,400,000.
Everything was left in the hands of justice.
Judge Emilce Selleiro ruled on the 20th of this month that of all the claims made by Piatti, only those 850,000 dollars of compensation correspond to him, since the aforementioned trigger clause does not apply in this case to dismissal without justification.
In other words, according to the law, the club made correct use of what was established in the contract agreed between the parties at the time.
Of course, this ruling may be appealed by Piatti since it is a final judgment of the first instance.
In any case, at the same time, the San Lorenzo lawyers had already agreed last year to pay the 850,000 with Nacho, in four installments, three of which have already been paid.
On the other hand, the Boedo entity has another darker front open in justice.
It has to do with the lawsuit carried out by the midfielder Lucas Menossi, who was considered fired from San Lorenzo for debts and went free of action at the end of 2021. In all respects, the midfielder currently in Tigre claims 6,446,654.19 Dollars.
