After the contingency plan presented by River to the Prosecutor's Office specialized in mass events, the prosecutor Celsa Ramírez, in charge of it, ordered to lift the closure of the Sívori stand of the Monumental stadium, where on Saturday there was the death of Pablo Marcelo Serrano, the 53-year-old fan of the Núñez club who fell from the top to the bottom.
"The Prosecutor's Office Specialized in Mass Events of the City, in charge of Dr. Celsa Ramírez, ordered the lifting of the closure that weighed on the Sívori Alta grandstand of the River stadium, after the presentation by the Club of a Contingency Plan aimed at neutralizing the risks and guaranteeing the safety of those attending it, " begins by saying the letter that will allow Núñez's team to play again with its stadium full.
As Clarín was able to find out, the contingency plan consists, in the first place, of arranging a human cordon, composed of personnel of the company that provides security to the club, at the top of the Sívori and Centenario stands and in the first rows of those stands to deter any attempt to climb the protective parapet. just as, according to the images of the cameras, Serrano tried to do last Saturday.
Meanwhile, it is estimated that there will be a guard every three or four meters; the signage and voice of the Stadium will be reinforced and the screens will highlight more insistently the prohibition of climbing or climbing to non-authorized places.
Finally, laser pointers will be set up to signal supporters who violate safety regulations and security camera operators will be warned to take a high-definition photo. If they manage to prove that they are members, they will be fined and the sanctions will be severe, even if the match is not suspended.
On Monday, prosecutor Celsa Ramirez had extended the closure of the tribune until Tuesday because she had requested a contingency plan from River and they also needed to analyze with more time the images and documents referring to the expertise that were taken on Saturday night in the Sívori Baja, where Serrano fell.
Faced with this situation, from the club they said: "We are working and we will continue to do so all night to respond to the request of the prosecution. A contingency plan is being prepared that includes different actions that River will carry out to avoid situations such as those that occurred. And with this we will try to respond to everything raised by the prosecution so that the closure of the tribune can be lifted. "
That plan arrived at the Prosecutor's Office on Tuesday morning and in the afternoon the closure of the tribune was lifted. In this way, River will be able to count on all its public for this Wednesday's match against Fluminense, in which Martín Demichelis' team plays a brave and key stop for its future in the Copa Libertadores.
Meanwhile, investigations continue into the death of Serrano, who was buried Monday in Moron, to try to determine whether the action was intentional or accidental. "Polytrauma with skull fracture with loss of brain mass," detailed the report made by the forensic doctors of the judicial morgue. Some witnesses claim that Serrano tripped and fell after climbing into the area where the flags hang. Another fan noticed his errant movements and tried to grab him, but his attempt was in vain.
According to Clarín, from information from the security agencies, through the images of the club's cameras, observed in the Operational Coordination Unit (UCO) it is perceived that Serrano approaches the railing, supports his hands, climbs up and falls. No third-party interventions are seen. Meanwhile, they are waiting for toxicological analysis, which will take a few days.
River made available all the film material recorded in the security cameras, images that are as decisive as the expert reports that took place during the last hours of Saturday in the Sívori stand. And the leaders of the club accompanied Serrano's family from that moment, even at the wake of the fan.
