Independiente returned to celebrate this Monday. It came from the agonizing 2-1 win against Tigre, which was shouted with everything on Saturday with that goal from Martín Cauteruccio in the last minute that should have waited for the approval of the VAR. And now in the club of Avellaneda they clenched their fist to celebrate what they consider another victory, but this one on the desks. It is that the appeal presented by the lawyers of the Red was accepted by the millionaire trial carried out by Gonzalo Verón and the case was raised to the Supreme Court of the Province of Buenos Aires.
It was the news that the leaders of Independiente were waiting for, with Néstor Grindetti at the head. "The Labor Court No. 2 of Avellaneda decided to declare admissible the extraordinary appeals filed by the Club Atlético Independiente and, consequently, to raise these actions to the Supreme Court of Justice," reported from the institution of Avellaneda.
From the player's side, currently at San Martín de Porres University in Peru, they had already appealed arguing that they were not satisfied with the ruling issued in the first instance since they demand a higher figure.
Gonzalo Verón considered himself fired for non-payment in 2020 and initiated legal action against Independiente.
There were 18 matches of Verón with the Red shirt but his hiring in 2018 generated a debt that, according to the first ruling of the Justice, forced Independiente to pay a total of 2,332,081,796.01 pesos, about almost 10 million dollars at the official exchange rate of this Monday (1 dollar = 240 pesos).
For the time being, the Devil will not have to pay anything and everything will be subject to what the Supreme Court defines, a process that can take a long time. What Independiente's lawyers will seek is the nullity of the notification of the lawsuit since it is doubtful that rejecting a document letter autonomously will be considered in absentia in a labor file.
It should be remembered that Verón sent the telegram to the clubhouse in mid-2020 and it was not received. The previous leadership, led by Hugo Moyano, argued that it was closed due to the strict quarantine that prevailed in the country.
The case Verón v. Independiente is elevated to the Supreme Court.
If it is possible to obtain the nullity of this notification, the trial should begin again, with another sentence. Otherwise, the concepts of fees, fees and interest dictated by the Tribunal will be re-evaluated.
At the same time that the current leadership of the Red elaborated this appeal that was successful, it initiated a criminal complaint against the previous leaders, against Verón himself, his lawyer and his representative, Nazareno Marcollese.
It is a respite for an economically burdened Independent. This is a historic trial for its exorbitant value, which could put the club's institutionality in check. That is why this news was celebrated as much or more than the goal of Caute in injury time.
